I hate it when that happens and I had the same reaction a couple years ago. Got some free weights and built 200# of traction.

Very nice GT. Got more pics of how you built it? What's the part at the bottom, what's it linked to at the top? :)

Little vid from this morning at home....I got mine done tout suite (I guess the way the wind blew I didn't have but 15 - 20 inches on the drive).....then I went to my in laws....got called away to Carlisle to help my daughter dig out. Got back from that and went to the in laws again....200 yard driveway and stone at that. The driveway is in an open field and was mostly 30 inches of snow (at least). The only thing showing was the short chute. Ain't gonna lie...the D series struggled but once I got a path back and got turned it was a cakewalk. Then I went to Harrisburg to help my son at college. I'm beat.

I need to come up with a cab for the D series. That 200 yards back my in-laws driveway was slow....and into the wind. I was soaked. Something to work on in the future.

I know what you mean Bob. The first time out without the cab and the blower in no time I looked like I just got out of the shower. Good way to catch pneumonia. :whew

I made a receiver hitch and bolted a plate with U bolts to clamp the weight bar on the ball mount and then welded it. The turn buckle mounts to the three point hitch attachment point (I thought it would keep the weights from bouncing)
