Night Shots of Snow Removal

Just finished cleaning up the snow should I took some action shots or a video. Postproduction shots lol.

I enjoy moving snow in the dark better than daytime.

You did a very nice job on your cab.

Thanks! here's the build thread if you're interested.

LA165 Cab Build ( PICTURE HEAVY!

I've been lurking here & on sister sites for a few years now so I thought I'd start a post on my homemade cab for my LA165. Just have to finish the Lexan and re-install & finish up the wiring. A LOT of work but will be worth it in the end. I used different features on cabs I've seen but mostly...

I don't move snow at night. Retired and don't have to so why do it. When the snow quits falling and the wind quits blowing, then I may go out, and move some around. Nice looking rig to say the least.

Very nice machine for sure and did a great job! Love that cab.

Nice cab Jason, just wondering how much do you think the cab weighs. Just curious. And the snow blower tires on the front of the tractor, how do they work for steering. Thinking about putting a set of those on my JD 140 H3.

I'm running a set of snowblower tires on a Garden tractor. They work good in snow and dirt. Not so much so on packed snow and not at all on ice.
At least that's the way it's worked for me.

Thanks Chris. This is the original type tire on the JD 140. Not much grip for turning. Just thought the snowblower tires might be better.

I agree with Chris, I like them, I thought they'd be an issue tearing up the grass but if you don't turn too fast they aren't a issue. I personally find they turn better on snow because they don't fill up like regular tread does. I personally never noticed an issue on ice but I do have a lot of weight between the cab and blower. AS for the weight Noel, not sure probably 250-300. Come and check it out if you ever venture west of C'town lol.

I will some day Jason. So the cab gives good amount of extra weight for traction too.
