(ET) Blade Attachment?

[Klein Robert W NPRI <KleinRW Npt NUWC Navy Mil>]

RE:  Blade attachment (john briese)...I have to remount a non-GE blade to 
an I-5.
Which mount works the best, the wheel horse that mounts near the rear 
wheels 
or like the GE that mounts near the front wheels??
Is there any difference?  John Briese


Dear John,

My WheelHorse C-185 (Electric) tractor uses the bracket as identified on 
the ElecTrak website (and Lorches pics).  My other two (gas powered) wheel 
Horse tractors use the rear axel mounted snowplow.  I like them both but 
feel the rear axle mount makes more sense... Your pushing from the source 
of the push (and it's a big iron casting).  That being said, I almost 
never use my gas Wheel Horses because the ELECTRIC has So Much More Power 
and Weight.  This winter I'm adding 110# of wheel weights per side to 
increase traction.

The real nice thing about the Electric tractor setup is the ease in which 
you can connect and disconnect it; a lifting strap and two pins and your 
done!

Good luck.
