Musical tractors today.

Just moved two around. John Deere needs a go the next snow fall. Been about a year since it blew snow. Had it running a few time thou. And last summer it wouldn’t stay going one day. Thought that was strange. And yes I checked the gas tank. And it had fuel in it. So it kept doing that so I cleaned the carburetor. Seemed all right after that. So a use throwing snow will see if it’s ok now. Amazing how stuff gives trouble when not using them.

Any way, enough ramble, a couple of pictures.

And it may change again. The two Cases maybe together and the MF12 behind the Ford.

Noel :D

Nice tractors Noel! That 224 should work as well as my 444, same engine, same snowcaster. Is the JD two stage blower?

No Eugen. It a single stage. 46” wide. It is basically the same as a Case snow caster. Made mostly the same, but, it has a shear pin in the auger. And the chute opening is 6” instead of 8”. Throws snow fairly good.
Ya. Not sure why my 224 doesn’t throw very well. But the tractor and caster are powerful. Shush, or what highway plow pushes in doesn’t bother it. Of course you have to go slower. But it never plugs up either.

Good looking fleet Noel! Now you just need those grandkids to grow some, all the machines running at the same time your drive way would be clear in no time! :thumbsup:

Hehe. That’s right Jeff. Three grandsons, a son and myself. 5 tractors. Would make quick work of it, for sure.
Would make a great picture. Hehe. But.
