@@fixanddestroy9669 Depending on the editing software you are using you can overlay the tractor sound over the drone footage. No big deal, just an observation.
Fun video. Very useful setup. Hope you get many years of utility and enjoyment out of it. IH tractors in that body style are the ones of my youth. Nice walk on memory lane!
Hydrostatic drive would be very convenient to run a snowblower. My family farm had an IH 826 Hydro Demonstrator. It was a good tractor but if you got it stuck, don’t pull it out dragging the drive tires, make sure that you are spinning them faster than your movement across the ground.
Love the drone footage. I am new to drones. Picked up my first one this fall. I plan to incorporate it into upcoming videos. Yours really stole the show, so to speak.
When setting up a large tractor for snow blower work and there is the option for 540 or 1000 RPM drive. Always take the 1000 RPM option. It puts way less stress on both the tractor's internal PTO drive systems and the snow blower driveline.
@@fixanddestroy9669 Often that comes from the main blower paddles churning up air being they are basically just really heavy fans. The only real concern with running them fast is if something is way out of balance and you will notice the shake immediately if something is dangerously far off. My personal preference for running on the higher RPM speed is that the tractor can be run at much lower engine RPMs for lighter work which makes maneuvering much easier if the tractor has to drive backwards to blow snow.
Front mount is the way to go. Not everyone has the luxury of 4WD and it's hard to add weight when the blower is on the rear and you lose the ballast when the blower hits the ground
I’m from southern Arizona and never seen a snowblower like that work so I have a question. What happens if you hit a chunk of hard solid ice under the snow? Will it just eat it or will it break?
It would probably just get pushed by the front augers. If it is small enough to fit through the auger it should get eaten by the fan. We haven't been able to put a lot of run time on this setup yet, so I am guessing.
@@fixanddestroy9669 I dunno anything, really, about big blowers, so I don't know if that adaptability means you change the gear ratio in the machine or not, however, I can tell you from my small blower experience that impeller RPM makes a huge difference in that case. On my old walk behind blower I increased the the impeller RPM from 1200 to 1800 and it plugged a lot less and threw a lot further. One downside, tho, if you pick up heavy objects, like rocks, it can launch them into orbit with too high of RPM's. Shear pins also will become less effective as shear pins can only stop applied power, not the momentum in the machine.
We had a black stripe 186 hydro and I don't think it was 135 HP. My 4020 diesel could out pull it. It worked well for what we did with it. Used it on a compost turner.
Yup, that will get the job done! Hydrostatic and forward facing is the way to go. Nice rig! I converted a combine to a snowblower and it is also working fine. Is that a 9' width blower? Years ago we also had an Erskine blower.
The sound of the tractor is way better than the music. Nothing like a diesel at work. Nice job with the installation.
I tried to only have music when I didn't have audio of the tractor. Drone shots I don't have audio for sadly.
I realized I didn't get rid of the audio during at least one clip of the tractor running. I will do better next time!

I can overlay sound over drone footage. I just need to record tractor noise next time. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Very cool. That black smoke went almost as far as the snow! 😮

What a find, pretty rare tractor, perfect for your use case...
Not too many around but there is another set up as a snowblower 2 miles down the road....

Can not beat a old Cornbinder ,they are just built to work.
💪👍
That will be great for the engine... de-carb it! Make sure you have shear bolts, that will be the weak link... as it should be! Congratulations
Thats a beast of a tractor. Before next winter add a turbo to the H186 and you'll be grinning. Kent from PEI
It already had a turbo installed when Hunter bought it. Hunter is working to find the turbo badge and add it to the tractor.
Great looking setup!!! I feel sorry for that truck driving all that way with all that weight and having the blade on the front!
Nice binder, they sure sound awesome under load.
Thanks!

Very nice set up 👍
Good job fellows, That thing is a real pig for eating snow!
Wow would love to have a setup like that .
Nice rig! I grew up running 986 and 1086 which were so much more quiet than the 806 I spent hours in before that.
What a perfect combination. That is an amazing set up. Well done guys

My favorite tractor

Good to know. Last time it was on the Massey it had a nice and scary hum with running 1000 rpm. We wanted to try it out slow with 540.

"This is not your tractor. This is MY tractor" said the vicious kitty!
What a machine. 😁
You have quite a rare tractor there with the fwa
Yeah. It was hard to find one. Believe it used to be an industrial tractor (yellow).
VERY NICE!
Thanks!

Sweet...
Thats a nice hitch. Too bad you don't have a shop to get it in
Hunter is currently working on building a shop. We were about a month too early to be working on it in the shop.
is it blowing more smoke or snow hard to tell LOL
I can't believe u left.plow on truck when hauling that tractor that far. Lol my f150 overheats after 25 minutes of Highway
We didn't have any engine overheating issues. Only a brake heating issue on one downhill.

Or break a shear pin if it’s big enough

What's the pto speed of the blower?
Currently 540 rpm. Blower specs are 540 or 1,000 rpm. Andy wants to try 1,000, Hunter does not.

This tractor has a turbo added to it. It is supposed to add roughly 20 hp. 115 hp to 135 hp.
@@fixanddestroy9669 oh that would make a difference. Ours didn't.
4020's shifting pattern was the biggest Cluster#uck ever ..
How much time did it take to redo the PTO mount? How much clearance to the ground?
I would guess it took 15-20 man hours. Only 4-6 inches of clearance, I think. I will have to look.
👍👍

where you guys based out of? almost looked like a midwest city haha
Houghton, Michigan. Passed through Duluth and Superior to get the tractor.
@@fixanddestroy9669 thats awsome bro. lived in duluth for years! born minnosotan :)
Was that Tower Drive Bridge in Green Bay, Wisconsin?
No, it was the Richard I. Bong Memorial Bridge between Duluth, MN and Superior, WI.
There were a lot of Behnkes near Lena Wi
Bong Bridge? @1:35.
Yup!
You can't judge new horsepower verse old real horsepower. Love both tractors but 186 will run circles around the mf
I agree. Big difference between the 6-cylinder International and the 3-cylinder Massey.
7 hour road trip with the snowplow mounted??
Yup! 7 hours each way.
You drove 7 hrs with a snowplow on pickup?
7 hours each way with a plow. Hunter didn't want to take it off and figured it was good counterbalance weight....
The only way that thing has 135 horsepower is if it's turned because it's only a 105 horsepower tractor
You are correct. It has a turbo on it. Turbo is supposed to bring it up to 135 horsepower.
Yes tractor was to heavy for your trailer but you got it home yea
The trailer is rated to 16k. Just a lot a weight for an old tired truck.
😊😅
Nice to be able to crawl this slow. My IH 886 is much faster in reverse blowing.
🙋🏼♂️🇪🇪👍🏼✌🤗
Is that an aftermarket Mudhog setup?
No, it is a factory Coleman front axle.
