The owner shows greasing and mounting the JD 540R loader, hooking up a Snow Way V-plow with its hydraulics and electric switch, and mounting a Frontier SB156 rear snowblower, with rough time estimates for each step. Useful for 5090R owners setting up similar loader/plow/blower combos, not for shoppers evaluating the tractor.
Posted by the RMSpeltz Farm Homesteading channel, an owner sharing practical, unpolished footage of their own farm setup.
About 15 minutes for the loader, 10 minutes for the Snow Way plow, and 10 minutes for the rear blower, totaling roughly 30 to 45 minutes.
Plug in the electric switch connector that communicates with the Snow Way's hydraulic cylinders, then hook up the hydraulic return hose, checking full range of motion and using breakaway zip ties.
Yes, the video recommends two people since seeing the attachment groove from the cab is difficult, so one person drives while the other guides and locks the arms.
