Ahh finally someone who knows how to snow blow,shute placement,and not using it as a plow I have a 1025r with a heated soft cab snow bucket and a rear 3pt. Blower it works very well for my application
That’s a really nice setup you have there. The only thing I don’t care much for is the new way JD mounts the blower to the tractor. I had an older version of what you have. It was a 97’ JD 955 with snowblower and heated cab. What I liked better about mine was the way the snowblower mounted to the tractor. Yours I believe has a mount that you have to put on in order to use the blower. Mine used the same mount as the belly mower deck with the exception of the carrier that held the two driveshafts together which stayed on the tractor all the time. You just disconnected the driveshafts. It was so much easier. To install or remove the the snowblower took all of 5 minutes or less depending on how level the tractor was to the snowblower. Cool video though. Sure beats the heck out of a walk behind snowblower. Thanks for sharing!
I just bought a new 1025r and 54" snowblower. Northern Wisconsin and my driveway is about half as long as yours, but I'm in the middle of farm fields, so the drifts get huge. My 3500 plow truck keeps getting stuck trying to push it.
You have such a nice tractor, please keep good care of it. I would let the engine run a minute or two after heavy work, and the diesel you could probably run five minutes with little gas, it is much better on the engine and will last much longer. I let all gas engines idle about a minute after working it.
That's a mighty long driveway to snowblow with a 1025, but it does surprisingly good. I hope for this kind of snow in MT this season. We need to vet the new covid refugees that moved here from the cities, making sure if they have enough snow shovling stamina?
I would rather have a loader on the front and blower mounted to rear pto. This setup makes no sense to me .But I have been around tractors for 50 plus years but these days just watch the confusion.
Nice Snowblower work. Would a plow do the job any better for you? Ive found that plowing is about 3 times faster as long as the snow is not over 6-8 inches deep. All the best and God Bless. 🙏❤🇺🇸
