P1000 Working it.

Putting the P3 to work plowing for the 4th winter. Still doing great just like it did in 2016. Life would be much harder around here without my Honda.

Wow, you’re getting that snow in east Tenn now??? Glad that Honda’s making life more pleasant there!!

Wow..... I surprised by the level of snow in that part of the country, but it does look like you are prepared and having some fun

Just finished putting a 72” kfi poly plow on my ‘16 p1k5. Looking forward to giving it a try!

Curious, do any of you run some added weight in the bed while using the plow?

More pictures please!

Hahaha, yeah I tried but Dang it's cold out there, 15° this morning.

I assume in East TN, you are dealing with heavy snow vs. powder/fluffy stuff?

And apparently an unusual lot of it...

I am planning on running 2-3 dry sand tubes for counterweight but still getting my rig set up. I think it would be advisable given the plow, winch &bumper right on the nose. 15 degrees sounds ideal plowing weather...Snow will be nice & dry...

It started out fluffy, then got wet, then froze. I was pushing a foot of snow or less, but there was a 1/4 to 1/2 inch of ice on the gravel. It was weird pushing ice sheets with snow on top. I had to let some air out of the year old Terribites 3 times before they would work good. Not sure what the psi ended up being but the tires have a bulge in them. Probably around 6 or 7 pounds. I counted to 10 while lowering pressure, and did that 3 times. I just wanted to get home and get warm.
4 years of plowing wirh just a roof and windshield, and of course Honda's built in heater, to keep my Butt thawed out. Lol. A full cab would be nice, but way out of this old Hillbillys budjet.
Take care all, and have a wonderful Christmas and New Year.

Yeah it started out that way, then it got heavy and wet, then the temps went up,into the low 40's. Then it froze again. It a mess. Now they say we're going to get some heavy rain in the next few days. That's likely to cause flooding. Im at 3,000 ft of elevation, and we get a lot of severe mountain weather year round.

Seriously the Honda is a life saver. I'm sure other brands would work fine also, but my P3 is a tank. It kinda reminds me,of the old Willis Jeeps, it just gets the job done with no frills. I pretty much just expect it to handle anything I throw at it, and it complies, with a powerful grunt. You couldn't convince me there's a better machine out there. A warmer one yes, but not as capable.

I'm sure it is a mess and hopefully gets better. On the bright side it is better than the alternative, drought/fire....

Indeed it is Brother.

Agreed, wish we’d get that kind of snow over here again...use to.

I don't, but then I always figured my Large Carcas was enough. I might give it a try though.

 

[alloutdoors]

Great response, but was thinking of possible sand bags in the rear to help in the load pressure on the front... I have no idea how it works via Honda recommendations and only thinking of what I do on a tractor and inquiring....
