The video explains why he switched from a 72-inch grading blade, covers blade height/skid adjustment for turf protection, turf-tire traction trade-offs, Rim Guard ballast, and hydrostatic operation in snow. Best for 1740M owners weighing blade options for light residential use.
Posted by the Where Two Next? channel, which appears to be a personal channel run by a rural property owner sharing first-hand experience with his own equipment.
The 72-inch blade that came with the tractor was more of a digging or grading blade and dug into grass even in float mode, so he switched to the 84-inch snow blade for cleaner results.
Yes, the blade's rubber edge is raised about an eighth to a quarter inch off the ground, so it rides over grass without scraping or damaging it.
He chose turf tires because the tractor is mainly used for mowing with an underbelly mower, and the rear tires are also loaded with Rim Guard beet juice for ballast.
He plowed 14 inches of snow with no problem at all, piling it into mounds six to seven feet tall, almost as tall as himself.
