Cold starts haven't been a problem so far, a good 880 CCA battery helps.

how hards was the articulated sttering to make

[benjaminwayneb]

@maddog5483 The articulated steering wasn't that difficult to build. One of my other videos shows some more detail. I also have some pictures posted on photobucket, just search homemade tractor and you should find them.

@benjaminwayneb Why did you do articulated steer and did you have to use a computer or is this carbureted?

[benjaminwayneb]

@dukesroc01 Building the tractor with articulated steering allowed me to use much stronger, more common and less in demand rear axles. It also allowed the tractor to be narrower, tires this large would need a lot of clearance from the frame to obtain a decent steering radius. The engine is carbureted with electronic ignition.

Nice Machine !

I saw the video where you added two cylinders to angel the blade, Could you have just used one Cylinder.? I was thinking of a single cylinder and a manual locking pin that I could release with a rod set up

I bet you have heat in the cab, if you don't at least you are out of the blasted wind, I use an International 350 utility and It can be quite cold pushing snow.

Thanks for the post,

@EarlRausch The cylinders used for angling the blade are snow plow cylinders, they are only single acting so I needed 2. The control valve prevents the cylinders from moving, no locking pin is needed.
