Weight bracket
 
2 Attachment(s)
I got a rear weight bracket made and put on my 982 for added weight for pushing snow. I have 120 lbs of suitcase weights hanging off of it and it holds it great and is sturdy. I think im ready for snow lol.

You are going to love watching the snow rolling off of the blade at full speed. It is recommended you use only 2 of the trip springs for pushing snow due to higher speeds being used for snow. Depending on your terrain, if you catch an edge at that speed and the blade doesn't trip, it can and will throw you sideways. I've almost been thrown off my 2182 numerous times pushing snow. Very nice lookin setup you have there.

Thank you for the advice, very much appreciated. I have a small flat concrete driveway and not a lot of room to get going fast unless i plow my sidestreet. :beerchug:

Yep the sudden stop can also toss you into the steering wheel hurting things you would rather not have hurt, ask me how I know.

My problems are catching the side of the blade at full speed and throwing the machine sideways and almost tossing me off the side. Been very very close to many times. Be careful out there.

Yeah i will do my best to be careful. I dont want to hit the dash or steering wheel with anything that shouldnt hit it lol. I dont want to be that guy who goes flying off his tractor, knowing my luck people would be watching too lol.
