Yes they did. There is about every variation of the FC150/FC170 that you can think of, and several you probably have never thought of. To keep it on topic and relevant, hows these?:

Too cool!

For those of you who have unfrozen or stone driveways. I found this idea for font end loaders over on tractorbynet forums. I took a 3" black ABS pipe and cut through one side on the table saw. Just force the pipe over the cutting edge of the loader. This has worked very well with just skiming over the stones and dirt drive. It has last longer than I thought it would. I have done 6 200' drives the past 4 snow falls and is still useable. Don't back drag it will come right of but pushing and dumping it stays on. I hear it works well on back blades too.

Curling the bucket all the way back and setting it to "float" works too. I am always amazed at the amount of damage some plow operators cause.

I have a gravel driveway, 2000feet and just adjust the plow a little, once there are some packed snow track the skids just ride along but i can just adjust when needed and dig up very little rock. Customers with gravel are amazed at how i don't destroy it like all the other plowers.... we would have to rake rock back in all summer after they drop and go 30mph up and down.... only problem this year is there aint #### for snow.

The no snow thing is my fault. Because I bought a plow truck this year and dont have to slave out in the elements. It only figures we would get little to no snow!

here is how i push snow, had a NH skidsteer but traded up, it works good, we have a long drive, little more than a 1/4 mile

Man I'd love to have a Magnum here, but I sure can't justify 140+HP on 80 acres. If you've got pics or videos, post them here!

Well, technically speaking, there not mine, the father in law owns them. Farms +/- 2000 acres of row crops so I can pretty much use what i need.

Its one of the "babies" of the bunch.

As far as pics, I'll have to hunt down a computer with a high speed connection, but I will try to get some up in the next few days. Dial-up is sooooo slow.

I use my 4020.

I built a quick tach for this 6' blade, works great on the bobcat. Most of the time I use the blade unless it's really deep (twice so far this year), then I'll get the blower out.

what do you remove snow with.

a wife.

 

[jags]

a wife.

Ya know how to convert an old dishwasher into a snow thrower? Hand her a shovel!

****Ducks and runs for cover****

I kid - I kid (in my best Yiddish accent)

Thats a nice old Jeep.. Like to get my hands on one of those..

For snow removal I bought the Wife I nice new shovel for X-mas and I mean nice!!

YEah I wish..

I'm using a 12HP - 30" MTD blower and for the light stuff Arctic Cat 400 with 5' blade

That is a very pretty 4020 you have there. Looked at one 10 years ago a guy had for sale for $6,000. It was in semi-running condition. Wish I had it now. I appreciate the older tractors more and more.

Looks like you're in the middle of a restoration. Very nice job. How many total hours on the machine? Did you rebuild the motor?

Got some rep. coming your way.

Thanks, I lucked out and got this one cheap for $6000 with a vemeer bail lifter. The tires are in good shape, the engine runs like a champ but the hour meter is broke at 9200 some hours. It starts good in the cold and sounds great so I guess I won't worry about all the hours.
