Nice blower.
The sawdust got there cause I was to lazy to back the truck under the saw dust blower, been straight out Jan and Feb

Nice snow blower
Nice ride!
That's real pretty
Guess you got your wish WoodMills ;D. We have 10" here this morning, what did you end up with?
Woodmills1
We hot 20" and it's still snowing some
Hope you got some
13in in Nottingham. Woodsmills1, you want more practice with that front mount blower, just come on over... ;D
19" here. Just got done with round one of opening up the farm and sawmill. Another couple hours and I'll be done.
Sure did snow, had a few branches fall around 10 last night so I moved snow so I could move my scion out from under the trees. This morning I did the house and the work yard. I have to say this Payeur package is really something, the areas I didn't get to last night were lifted and blown up and over the log piles.

Is that a hydraulic powered blower?
Front pto.
How does that work being attached to the loader assembly? do you have to be careful how you move it?
No it is powered off the mid PTO, and Payeur built a speed matching gearbox(2000 rpm pto and 540 blower). The chute rotates and the deflector angle are both hydraulic. I am moving snow like a real human being. Only drawback is I need to remove the shaft and gear box after winter to put the skid plate on for woods work. I was worried about the juice drive transmission, but am so happy with it. The pto stays engaged until you push in the clutch, which you don't have to do to stop the motion of the tractor with the hydro trans, so if the blower gets overloaded I just lift off the forward pedal and the blower clears itself. Also, the blower is on a universal quick tac mount on the tractor loader arms and Payeur made 4 plates to restrict the movement of the loader so I don't shear the shaft (https://forestryforum.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10064/016.JPG?easyrotate_cache=1520531560)

ok. thats nice. Hmmmm any chance I can get pics of the restrictor plates?
I have a rear mount 3PT snowblower I used to run on my old Kubota that had the 2 speed pto. I would run it on high speed and it worked great. New tractor only has 540 rpm so it doesn't work nearly as well.
I want to make a gearbox coming off the rear PTO that will double the RPM and run a shaft to the front and mount the blower on the front. I have just been trying to figure out if I use the loader arms or make a plow frame and remove the loader assembly all together in the winter. But since I use the forks to get my firewood to the house it would be a pain.
I added the pictures to my last post just now
Nice set up you have there.
Looks to work well. 8)
Thanks woodmills that is a huge help. those plates are far to simple I would have never though about doing it that way :)
This would be my third Payeur tractor I need to give them props. Payeur.com
jeff did you ever send Payeur an invitation to this nice nice forum?
here are a few pics from the storm on the 14th, we got about 30 inches. The third picture is the house across the street

I bet you are loving the front snowblower.
I really need one right now. I ran out of room to push the snow back it keep rolling back into the driveway making it very narrow.
that's why you should make it wider the first time you plow :)
That is where a snowblower shines,no need to plan ahead.Just clear the areas you need. Get 6 feet of snow instead of a normal 3 feet,still all is fine with a snow blower. I plowed here for one year,been snow blowing for 17 years.

Friends of mine used to go to Maine snowmobiling every winter. They said the telephone poles were 20 feet off the road. I asked if that was so there was room to pile the snow. Theysaid no, it was so that when you are going up a hill at 70 mph, with your foot to the floor, the loaded log trucks had somewhere to pass you. :D

I did. Unfortunately I have vehicle eating ditches on both sides of my driveway. I can only push so far before I get swallowed by the ditch. getting in is easy. Getting out, not so much...
Before this last line of storms I had 0 snow. now I am sitting pretty with a good 24".
