Same situation down here this year. Never got more than a couple inches, not that I’m complaining! We could still get a big snow this month but it won’t stick around.

Same here Jeff. March and April can be nasty here too.
So I went out and cleaned up the snow. The sun had started to melt the stuff off the vehicles. Got stuck on the ice a few times with the John Deere. No chains on this one. So the split rear brakes got me out of those jams. They work great.

Hope the snow stays away for another day at least.
My neighbour asked me to help with clearing up a packed snow area two days ago, the 444 was doing great pushing through some ice and packed snow, when all of a sudden I see the auger chain swirling through the air in front of the tractor. New chain I put months ago.
Need to put the chain back on.. I know, easy task, but I need to make time for it too.

I think so. Beats me as to why, I was pretty sure I put the clip on right, and it worked for at least a month too.DavidBarkey wrote: ↑Fri Mar 03, 2023 11:57 amDid the link come apart ?Eugen wrote: ↑Fri Mar 03, 2023 11:04 am Hope the snow stays away for another day at least.

I have unknowingly run the master link clips backwards for long times. The only issue popped up when I got into the icy/hard chunky stuff. So with the master link at the top of the auger sprocket the rounded end of the clip needs to be facing forward. Sometimes I have had issues getting the split ends of the clip to fully seat into the groove on the pin.Eugen wrote: ↑Fri Mar 03, 2023 12:11 pmI think so.

I put the clip on the auger side . I know you would think the other side would be more protected , but found that that is where the junk builds up and knocks it off . Other than the bottom being the pull side . Only other thing is to get the cotter pin type , hard to find though .Eugen wrote: ↑Fri Mar 03, 2023 12:11 pmI think so.
