This year I'm running my 212 with a winch to lift the blade and a tractor trunk for a weight box. $1500 into it and she's set. Next year I want a 318 or 330.

I used to use a 214 for snow, there’s a few videos of it in the channel. It did a nice job but I do like the hydraulic angle and power power steering on the 318.

Hi can you do a video on how to add hydraulic fluid for the plow please

[@outdoorpowerhouse]

Hydraulic fluid for the plow is the same fluid for the transaxle, so you just need to check the level and add if needed at the transaxle. I have a video that shows checking the level near the end. You can watch that here: ua-cam.com/video/bTYoG-tQqbA/v-deo.htmlsi=xF4V7Jtm5DNchcav

Thank you so much for you help

Awesome video as usual. I’m doing something wrong that I can’t get mine to float. Can you maybe do a video on more details of that? You had a comment about it on the other snow plow video.
I’m new to the 318 and your videos are helping a lot!!!
Also, my 318 has a sticker showing the float like if it had 3 hydraulic handles, but I only have 2 (as I think they all have). What am I missing?? 😁

[@outdoorpowerhouse]

Thanks! For the float function, your inner lever needs to be pushed forward. Once you do that, if you push it a little harder it will click forward a little more and that is the float position. I hope that helps!

One of these days are we ever going to see a John Deere 300 or a 316 kohler come to the channel?
