Plowing snow with my loader mounted V-Blade. The loader and V-Blade were designed and built by my Father in 1981. It has held up to some very hard use and abuse over the years, with only a couple of welds cracking and a few coats of paint. The loader mounting makes it easy to push back banks and take the top layer off of deep or heavy snow. The V-Blade approach works very well in crusty or wet snow since the tractor doesn't get pushed sideways. |

The loader does double duty with a lift frame and forks to move firewood from the wood shed to the house. The lift frame works on the loader and the 3 point hitch with special reversible pins. Another design of my Father's. |

Cutting fire wood with a 3 point Dearborn buzz saw. I restored it from a good original. |

As you can see my collectibles have to earn their keep. That is my 1958 Willys FC170 doing hauling duty. |
We were located about 3 miles south of Lake Ontario in Upstate
New
York when most of these pictures were taken. We have moved with
the tractor to TN now, no more snow plowing. Sold the buzz saw
and Willys FC. Brought the V blade with me since it was built
for the tractor but it hasn't been on since we moved.
Annual snow fall now isn't even a bad Friday storm from when we
were in Upstate NY.
