Blow the sawdust, we don't need any snow.  :D  :D  ;) 
Nice blower.

[woodmills1]

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

[blackfoot griz]

We have a little bit here. Want some?  

[thecfarm]

I don't think you won't have to hope too much. : 

[DPatton]

 :D :D I think you're going to get a chance to use that machine real soon woodmills1.

[Southside]

Why you speak with forked tongue woodmills1?   :D

13in in Nottingham.  Woodsmills1, you want more practice with that front mount blower, just come on over... ;D

[Dave Shepard]

19" here. Just got done with round one of opening up the farm and sawmill. Another couple hours and I'll be done. 

[woodmills1]

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?

[Dave Shepard]

Front pto.

[Crusarius]

How does that work being attached to the loader assembly? do you have to be careful how you move it?

[woodmills1]

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 

 

 

[Crusarius]

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.

[woodmills1]

I added the pictures to my last post just now

[thecfarm]

Nice set up you have there.

[Peter Drouin]

Looks to work well. 8)

[Crusarius]

Thanks woodmills that is a huge help. those plates are far to simple I would have never though about doing it that way
