Homemade Tractor Plowing After Another Snow Storm Part II

[yellowk20]

Very Cool!! what did you use for your pivot pins and bushing and how long is the stroke of the steering rams?

[benjaminwayneb]

@yellowk20 I used the front wheel spindles and hubs from a rear wheel drive car for the pivots. This gave me 2 pivot pins with 4 tapered roller bearings( 2 at the top and 2 at the bottom ). One of my other videos gives a better view of the pivot. I only have one dual acting cylinder for steering, it's a 10 inch by 2 1/2 inch cylinder.

is the cab heated and is that motor diesel or gasser

[benjaminwayneb]

@piffsterr2 The engine is a 318 Chrysler and the cab has heat.

how much (roughly) would it cost to make one of these?

[benjaminwayneb]

@12peter96 It largely depends on how much you need to spend on a power train components and hydraulics. This tractor cost about $3600.00

awesome job on the tractor that would be even better with a blower on the front i live an hour north of london and in my town the road plow drivers get kinda pissed if you pile your laneway snow along the side of the road

[deerelindel]

you should make the blade higher so when you plow in to a pile it dont come over the plow

You will get tired of plowing for ungrateful people who nothing better to do than bitch. I do the same thing for my neighbors and when it is bad i plow the street so we can get in and out without getting stuck. People call the police because i filled in the bottom of there drives with snow. I then ask what they do when the city plow gets around to us. It's just not worth the grief trying to do something nice. My time gas and equipment free of charge , what's wrong with people ?

@rotax7804 people bitch just for the sake of bitching, nothing else better to do.

Can i buy this from you for my snow removal business? what price would you say?

[820coke]

i mean its a great machine it really is but it has more potential. If i were u id put a big ol diesel engine and a v plow plus a lot of weight on it

[820coke]

how about be patient when it stops snowing go plow i mean rlly u have a 4x4 specialy made tractor that cant plow that much snow after it builds up??? i mean really we used to plow with out old 8n and a back blade, then a 1986 chev. k30 1 ton dually, and now we plow with an old worn out Case skid steer with a snow plow that mounts to it i mean really dont build sumthin unless it has some balls

[820coke]

well wait a day plow wait another day plow wait another day plow dont waste fuel plowing the same area for 5 hour

[820coke]

tip WAITTILL IT STOPS SNOWING BEFORE U PLOW OTHERWISE ITS A WASTE OF TIME!!!!!!!!!! other than that thats a nice rig u guys made

[benjaminwayneb]

@820coke What do you do when it doesn't stop snowing for 2 or 3 days?

[campaug]

@benjaminwayneb aaaaaaaand welcome to the great white north!! lol

[carkey351]

@820coke

you should tell the professional snow plowers and city plowers they have been doing it wrong all this time....

[Centron93]

@820coke Driving that thing is not a waste of time :)

[820coke]

@Centron93 never said it was just said you could save fuel by waiting till it stops snowin. im sure it can handle a few feet of snow.
