[QUOTE="AJ-17, post: 128869, member: 17245"] Just my two cents worth. My T-133 is about the same weight as a 753 and a few years back, I also had a 98” “V” plow blade and realized that it would be much better to make it wider. So I added 18” to each side, not knowing if it would be too wide to push snow. Had to wait almost a year to find out. I had bought some very deep grooved tires many years back and think they work very, very well. As it turned out, having more weight with extra steel and when plowing snow piled 3 to 4 feet high in front of the blade forces down on the front tires to drive the skid steer rather than the rears, like when moving gravel and dirt around. The weight of the plow is right at the capacity of the machine. It can pick up of 1300 pounds. I also can add a second set of tires on my Thomas, which you can not do with a Bobcat, due to the axle length. The Thomas axles are very short and can support having a second tire without bending an axle. As far as I know, I have never seem anyone else ever do the second set of tires. I also have a 84” snow bucket which is the 3rd picture with dual tires. I love pushing machines to their limits. [/QUOTE]
