    What is “drive mode”? Also, do you use the throttle pedal on this model to move forward/backward)?

    • @hiddenspringshappenings3945
      @hiddenspringshappenings3945 2 місяці тому

      This drive mode switch changes the point of engagement in the transmission. If you are using ground engaging implements they you would select that mode so the transmission engages quicker because of the resistance. The other mode is a smoother engagement for just driving. This model has the lever on the left side of the steering column to select forward and reverse

    Great videos. It would be really useful if you did a side by side comparison video of your Boomer 50 and Mt4 58. I have an Mt 3 45e, and I'm looking at trading in for something with a cab. I'm waffling between an mt3 57 and mt4 68. Seeing them side by side to compare size and hear your thoughts on the differences in weight, features, power, durability, lifting ability would be really helpful. I use mine mostly for plowing businesses with an angle blade and 3pt blower, as well as for building construction/material handling. The size of the Mt4 in tight spaces is a concern, but I'm sure the weight and hp is nice. Also concerned about the lack of hydro option in the mt4 for loader and forklift work.

      Thanks for the comment. Right now the Boomer is put away for the winter in the back of a shipping container so I can’t do a video but I did want to respond to you with some thoughts on the 2 tractors that I have. I totally understand your back and forth. Regarding the cab: I am an advocate. I love the cab. I thought it would be more difficult to get in and out when working on projects or hooking up attachments front and back. It has not been bad at all. The benefits of the cab are so nice especially if you are pushing snow or brush hogging. I definitely like the weight of the MT4. I find I have much better traction when pushing snow. This is a big help with the 10’ snow box. I really like the power shuttle transmission for everything except dirt work. Brush hogging, snow, rock raking are great with the power shuttle drivetrain. Loader work, scooping dirt seems easier with the hydrostatic. The MT4 does lift more front and back than the Boomer. I love the hydro remotes on the MT4. Also the ability to adjust height of the 3 point while outside the cab on the MT4 is very handy. The Boomer has a much much much tighter turning radius. Your concern about the size is valid. There appears to be a some adjustment on the bolt stops on the front wheels but the owners manual says not to adjust them so I have not. But the Boomer is pretty darn nimble for being a 50…well a 47 HP tractor. I was neither for or against the self leveling loader when I got the MT4 but if you are going to do much forklift work where you are picking up pallets, it is very convenient to not have to try to run 2 loader functions at the same time. With the RPMs up it does 2 functions but it is nice to have the self level feature when I am loading a transfer tank into the back of the truck. Well, I hope this helps you out in your decision making process. Thanks again for the comment.

    • @dougmorford2011
      @dougmorford2011 11 місяців тому

      @@hiddenspringshappenings3945 Thanks for the help! Yeah, I hear you on the cab. I really regret not getting one. I've had some miserable nights plowing in the cold and wind without one. Bucket and forklift work I imagine is significantly slower and less delicate than with a hydro. Pretty sure I'll get good at it though; just more stopping and shifting before getting into piles. For plowing though, I bet the geared tractor is nice. I get tired of hearing the hydro trans whine while plowing, and am pretty sure I'm putting it through more than it's designed for. The weight of the mt4 is a big upside. I finally found one to test drive, and it's definitely a heavier tractor. On heavier snowfalls I just have to start pushing small bites of snow instead of windrowing because he tractor's weight isn't enough to push snow to the side. Windrowing is significantly faster, so the weight would speed me up a lot. I also really would like a heavier tractor with a bigger loader for setting smaller trusses. It would open up a lot more work for it in the summer. The mt3 is def not capable of that. The turning radius on the mt4 is something that will be a pain for sure. I was surprised how wide it turns when I test drove it. It's actually probably going to be my main decision making factor vs an mt3, which turns on a dime in comparison. It's going to make some plow sites feel pretty small. I thought the same thing about the adjustment on the steering, but I assume that's probably a bad idea. The self level is a cool feature and would be very nice. I've become proficient at getting the ls hydraulics to smoothly tilt down while lifting the loader boom, but that took a LOT of practice. There's a sweet spot to get it to do it, and a lot of people probably will never be able to find it. The transfer tank scenario makes me think I would not consider a geared tractor without self leveling. I'm thinking it would allow you to run at a lower rpm when you need to without making your loader worthless. Thanks again.

    • @hiddenspringshappenings3945
      @hiddenspringshappenings3945 2 роки тому

      You hit it spot on. I have been working through that. Using the offset and the correct angle to push the crumbs back toward the unplowed snow so I can pick it up on the next push. The other method I have been trying is to use the RB to push the crumbs over toward the unplowed snow as I back up. Trying to accomplish the same thing. Eliminate the extra pass without decreasing each swath to a half swath to prevent spillage as that doesn’t really save time either. We have more snow in the forecast so I should get more practice and more footage.

This is a super heavy and robust blade. I don’t use the hydraulic tilt when pushing snow but I do plan to use it when blading dirt. My challenge there is that my 3rd hyd remote is a detent valve instead of a standard valve so it not the best valve for a cylinder. I purchased rhe 7’ blade as I didn’t want it to stick out too far and knew that the offset would reach where I needed to. They do offer an 8’ model. I also purchased the rock rake that I can install in place of the blade and have a hydraulic rock rake using all the same cylinders and main frame.

I do a lot of pushing with the rear blade as it is much less aggressive. It pushes the snow but does not cut too deep. In some places I pus because of space constraints. I still do pull with the rear blade especially out on the road and cleaning the gutters after the plows pass. Seasons greetings!
