    QUESTION OF THE DAY: Would you put tire chains on or plow snow without them? How soon after the snow fall will you go and clear it? Right away or when it's a convenient time?

      I leave my chains on year round. Wet yard and lots of hills. Never got stuck once or spun a tire since I put them on.

    Thank you for the video. We live in Ohio and wasn’t expecting the amount of snow we just had. I almost bought a snowblower two months ago and everyone kept telling me Ohio doesn’t get enough snow for a blower. Well now we are stuck in about 10 in of snow. I’ll be investing in this end of year. Thank you.

      Wow, that's certainly a lot of snow. The nice thing about this plow is that it can be used year round.

    Is it weird that I'm jealous of your annual snowfall? :) It's great you can get 4 seasons out of your Ultima ZT1! Anxious to see you plow snow with it! Great video Mark!

      Thank you! You're welcome to head north and bring some of your stuff to try out on my 300' driveway, lol! I recall you having an EGO snowblower?

    The manual has a suggested oil chart with recommendations for different ambient temp ranges

    • @MarkThomasBuilder
      @MarkThomasBuilder  Рік тому

      Yes, it might be a good idea to get thinner oil in cold climates and seasons.

      I use full synthetic Amsoil small engine oil with zinc in it.

    I have chains on my zero turn cub cadet too. 58 inch blade. I put small zip ties on the lock downs on the chains to insure they don’t unlatch accidentally. Good video. 👍🏼

    • @MarkThomasBuilder

      That's a good idea. I've had good luck with these chains staying on so far. I used to have an Ingersol lawn tractor that needed that method.

    Quick question, Every installation of chains I have seen has the horizontal chain end hooks facing out away from the tire. You have them in, facing in to the tire which could lead to wear on the sidewall rubber. I'm putting new chains on this fall. Which way is right?
    Thank you

      I didn't experience any problems using the chains the way I set them up, but I'd recommend reading through the comment. I think some people that said I didn't do it the proper way.

    Can you put a plow on the ZTS?(steering wheel version zero turn) think that would plow better having a hand free.

    • @MarkThomasBuilder
      @MarkThomasBuilder  10 місяців тому +1

      I don't think so. The steering wheel linkage takes up a lot of space where the plow would mount.

    Hi Mark, do you still recommend the plower for the zero turn? I am thinking of grabbing one of these before the cold Montana winter hits. I have a gravel driveway that’s about 130 feet long and thought about getting one of those walkable snow blowers but I want something that will get the job done faster.

    • @MarkThomasBuilder
      @MarkThomasBuilder  Рік тому

      I use mine more to smooth out the gravel driveway and I'm happy with it. For snow, I mostly use my snow blower. It seems our snow is always heavy and wet, which is more of a challenge for deep snow plowing.

      @@MarkThomasBuilder Hi Mark, what kind of snowblower do you use (model)? I have a gravel driveway as well and thought about the plower but the bad reviews is having me second questing it. Someone is selling a new 60” plower online at a cheaper price but I just don’t know.
      The reason why I want the plower is to get it the snow out quickly. But I am no pro when it comes to snow as this will be my first winter dealing with snow as I am from California.
      Cheers.

      Still going strong. This mower made me a fan of Kawasaki engines.

    You put the chains on with the loop ends touching tire
    They need to be on the outside

    Wheelweights

    • @MarkThomasBuilder
      @MarkThomasBuilder  4 роки тому +1

      Great suggestion. If the chains aren't enough, I'll look into weights.
