Tractor

A neighbor recently left me a snow plow, that fits a who-knows-what tractor.  Snow was rumored so I did a relatively quick winter install.  Next summer I'll probably replace the pipe handle with an electric lift.  The plow rotates, manually, so maybe I'll also convert that to a linear actuator.

The attachment plates mounted on the axle.

Hanging a heavy snow plow out front results in rear end traction decreasing, inspite of my weight. :)

I decided that I could increase traction by hanging free weights at the rear.

Now bolted to the rear accessory mount.

Plow mounted and weights hung.  Where's the snow?
