- Blizzard 2011, Beloit, WI, USA, Craftsman PGT 9500 (Simplicity Prestige), 42" 2-stage Snow Thrower attachment, 200 lbs rear carrier weights, 100 lbs rear wheel weights, rear wheel chains; no problems going uphill into deep snow over ice. After making this video, I noticed that I didn't have the throttle turned all the way up. I set it up to operating speed and the next driveway went even faster. I cleared 7 driveways and made a path down 2 blocks of road to free 3 stuck cars in 6 hours on 1 tank of gas.
NOW this guy is not self centered by any means. He goes right over to his neighbors place and helps him out FIRST this i how ALL people should be...be nice and helpful he sees his neighbor trying to shovel 5ft of snow what a great guy here we need more people like him around.
XboobtubeX He has a single-stage blower and does both of ours when it snows a little so I don't have to burn up gas on a couple inches of snow. He uses it twice to every time I have to clear once, and it takes him longer. He also brings my recycle bin and trash can up from the curb every week when I'm at work so they don't blow away. He's my neighbor, that's what good neighbors are for.
XboobtubeX that's true if people are selfish &inconsiderate at least show some gratitude &give him a few bucks to show appreciation that's what i would do anyway
ohhh that's below the belt ouch! lololol
Fixmdude you don't have to explain to that fisherman why you help out people the fisherman is prob asking your neighbor why he takes your recycle bins back also , your a good person sir
fixmdude and that is why the world sucks guys like that haha you do you buddy i allways help everyone i can it comes back to you god is watching and sends the right people !!!
I own a sears craftsman tractor Gt 22hp it kicks booty, i can plow at idle speed, it has a low and high speed trans, it is the best tractor i have ever owned period. Good job on the video and that tractor kicks booty big time.
Craftsman kicks booty!
What a great guy to help out the neighbors have a great day be safe.
I bought an old 18 hp MTD type lawn tractor that didn't run and am mounting a newish MTD 42" 2 stage Snow blower that looks very similar to yours. I got the tractor running and am about done mounting the blower. It required some welding and drilling to get it attached. It is a manual lift but I hope it works as well as yours. I may only have about $400 total into it when I am done.
My grandfather attached a 42inch hd snowblower with a hydralic lift to a 1975 cub cadet 19hp. It was nose heavy! But wow it could throw snow upto 50ft...that was 1990. My uncle in illinois has the snowblower now..never uses it...shame..i could have used it in 2004 with our 3ft of snow
My wife and I have the Snapper version of this tractor (GT2354). Before buying this tractor I had been collecting Garden Tractors from the 60's and 70's for twenty years. To me, the Simplicity Prestige is as good as any of the older models! I hope someday to find a Snow Thrower for it.
These craftsman blowers make great atv snowblower projects
I think that’s cool that you’re helping your neighbor, my Neighbor watched me for years shoveling my driveway while he use his snowblower ,Now I have a yard tractor with a plow as soon as he seen it he ran right over and asked me if I would do his driveway as a favor, I looked him right in the face and said I’m sorry use your snowblower I hate to be that way but if you had my neighbor you know when I’m talking about
I always enjoy watching these videos, but I especially liked watching this one. Nice machine, and nice job.
Nice job, equipment working well.
I am so impressed. That engine doesn't even seem to be working hard. Would have liked to see it at full throttle. I may be looking for a 26 hp if the 18 hp one I am building turns out to be underpowered.
best snowblower tractor ive seen on u tube. nice work.
300 pounds on the back perfect! Deep ass snow drifts!! Nice set up!
Woah, a decent tractor past the year 2000.
This is why i love tractor save me from getting a heart attack while shoveling amount of that snow
You Americans have such nice toys ...us brits still got hand shovels I’m just making a snow plough plow for u lot for my ride on mower
very satisfying
that baby works pretty good ! cool video i love it
THIS THING WORKED GOOD!!!! IV'E GOT THE SAME TRACTOR,ONLY I PUT A PLOW ON MINE.I DIDN'T KNOW HOW WELL THE SNOW BLOWER ACTUALLY WORKED.I WISH THAT I'D BOUGHT THE SNOW BLOWER NOW!!!! YOU CAN'T GET THE PLOW THRU SNOW LIKE THAT!!!! THE PLOW WORKS GOOD IN 4-9 INCHES.
After watching the whole video I feel bad for my neighbor now, it always feels so good to do for others
Don't know how I got to this video, but that was entertaining. Nice rig!
It's very simple on this hydraulic model; there is one hydraulic lever on the dash that goes up or down to lift and lower the whole blower off the ground. There is a second electric switch that goes up and down to run the small motor that turns the chute right or left. There is a third manual handle like a bicycle brake line that is pushed in or pulled out to raise and lower the cap on the chute to aim the output higher or lower. You can see those first 2 controls in my first video w/ the deck.
THAT MAKES MOVING SNOW FUN. THEN YOU CAN GO INSIDE AND FIX A BOWL OF TOMATO, OR CHICKEN SOUP, AND CATCH A GOOD MOVIE ON TV.
In parts of this video the snow is above the top of the height of the thrower. Their are two drift cutters that came with it, which bolt onto the sides of the thrower, for handing snow much higher than the height of the thrower. It has never bogged down. A full sized Chevy Blazier with a plow got stuck in the road and I was able to free it with this because the thrower continuously gets rid of the snow instead of trying to push it into bigger and bigger piles going forward.
I have a 2000 Simplicity Broadmoor, love it, but I bought it after it was re-powered
at 499 hours. Seems like tons of ads selling Simplicity's needing a new engine right about 500 hours. As many as I've seen over the years, makes me wonder. I bought mine pretty cheap and I'll never waste the money on a new one. I wonder if they aren't vented well enough for air cooling. The older ones are best, Simplicity Sunstar or Sovereign have legendary reliability, they don't make um like that anymore.
Tony Montana Yes, my previous 2000 Simplicity Regent had an under-powered 16 HP engine and there was a class-action lawsuit about it being mislabeled in HP. That's why I went with the Sears version of the Prestige this time with a 30 HP Briggs Pro engine, much better than the engine found in the Simplicity branded version. The rest of the tractor was the best I could find, and the better engine made it perfect. Too bad Sears stopped selling these after 2 years because they were too expensive for the market and they weren't selling enough. You get what you pay for.
+fixmdude i really dont think there is a whole lot of quality in much new unless you spend $20k and buy a kubota. me i have something really old and well built. its a 1948 IH farmall cub. its actually a small AG tractor and not a lawn tractor at all. its probably one of the smallest AG tractors ever built. they built them from 1947-1979 and they have a small 4 cylinder 60 cubic inch liquid cooled engine. the engine is pressure lubricated with a cartridge style oil filter. it has hydraulic lift as well (nice feature). it has things like differential braking, front headlights and a rear work light, electrical system with electric starting. it is a 6 volt system and my tractor is still setup that way, they can be converted to 12v. as far as parts not too much problem as they have a great aftermarket support. i have a 54 blade, weights, chains, tires loaded with rimguard. it will push 2 feet of snow without much trouble. i also have a 60" belly mounted mower and mow 2 acres a week. i have minimal problems with it, it runs and runs some more. these things were built extremely well and not much made to today can compete to the quality of the steel and cast iron. its sad because with modern technology we could do much better but that's not our way. we buy Chinese made crap and replace it in less then a decade. that's not my way. using and preserving history is the only way i think. this old classic will survive much better being used then sitting around. something breaks it will get fixed
No. My walk-behind Simplicity 2-stage clogged every time it hit wet slushy snow but this tractor has never clogged once. I think the guard to keep you from putting your hand in the walk-behind's shute was causing the slush to get blocked and clog. That isn't an issue with this tractor.
Yes, it's the same except that the Craftsman 2010 model had the 30 HP engine which was not yet available in the Prestige until 2011. And the Craftsman mowing deck does not have full-length rollers that are on the Simplicity deck. The rest are Simplicity part numbers on everything. Just like how every Sears Kenmore appliance is made by another company with a couple changes just to make them unique. My Kenmore washer is a Whirlpool that spins a few RPMs faster just to make it unique.
Now all you need is a nice cab !
got a 71 wheel horse raider 12 that will run circles around any Sears lawn tractors..
Id like to see that please post video
I'm sure you would but you never will !! I do not post videos .😊😊😊😊
The PGT is Professional line, the GT is regular consumer line, big difference and the PGT is twice the price. I don't see Sears selling the PGT this year, so you may have to go directly to Simplicity and get the Prestige tractor from them to get one like mine now.
The Simplicity Prestige version of this tractor has a 27 hp Kohler engine, this Craftsman version of it has a 30 hp Briggs Professional engine with electronic fuel management, I'm very please with this one.
Neighbor's wife: Honey, why aren't you out clearing the driveway?
Neighbor(sitting on couch in underwear drinking beer): No need, the guy next door has it.
Your a good neighbor
Do suitcase weights work also I never thought they did honestly
sometime living in this tough cold place it's really not that funny cause it need lot of work to cleaning up and use lot of energy times to spend in there
That's a back saver,I have a chance to buy a snowblower attachment for my Craftsman,it cost 100 bucks but it's in Pennsylvania and I'm in Florida LOL.
why do u need a snow thrower in Florida?
XboobtubeX because every man needs one .. lol
Harry Beckwith what !!!!! why the hell would you need a snow blower i f you live in florida don't get it ????????????????
is there a power lift on the tractor. I recently purchased ariens but it only lifts an inch and the manual handle takes all my strength to pul back. Any advice would be appreciated! Happy Holidays to you!
What model number is the attachment please
Will it fit my 8600 craftsman pro with electric pto
Thanks
Great video
nice set up you have there
@cjohncon I think your pgt9000 is an MTD tractor? The pgt9500 is a completely different tractor made by Simplicity so the parts are different. The 9500 model costs twice as much as the 9000 and one of its benefits is front hydraulics that runs the power steering to help turn the front wheels when the blower weight is on the front, plus it also runs a hydraulic lift in front for raising and lowering the blower. I use it constantly when I go up and down the driveway since my driveway isn't flat.
crap, you werent kidding! That tractor costs a chunk of change... Im going to look into maybe getting a retrofit, but based on the differences Im not to hopeful.
Hey this is awesome. I see you uploaded this in 2011, how is it holding up?
Perhaps I am missing it but how is the snowblower lifting? I just purchased one and it has a lever to lift it...
If you have a lever then it's not the same model. This model has front hydraulics to lift it.
Mine does have electric life and hydraulic lift, but the GT6000 does not. The PGT is professional line, the GT is regular consumer line.
wow it really do a great work
How are you raising and lowering the blower? I have the pgt9000 with the 28hp briggs pro engine that I put through hell for the past 2 years with a snow blade. finally getting the blower but Im thinking its going to be a real pain in the arse to raise and lower the blower.
Any idea what the part number is on the blower? I only ask because the one I am looking at the 42" blower and it says on Sears' site that it's only for tractors with 22" or smaller tires, mine has the 23".
wow who would have ever thought Craftsmen
very nice dose a great job
It's too bad that they only offer the 42" blower for that rig. I've got the 46" blower on mine and I still find that I wish it was wider. You've got 6 more HP than I do, and I've never felt underpowered at all. The only weak link is the mule-drive belts. I burn through them pretty quickly if the snow is deep and heavy. That might be why they stopped making them that size.

ok thanks i will check it out

good job!
awesome
Nice machine,but i have a 700 ft stone driveway and it would not work for me.I use a 46 in plow on my JD.It was fun 30 yrs ago when i bought the property,but it sucks now.
lol @ it was fun 30 years ago. Yes, that is what happens, we all get tired of the snow after a while.
lol
dave smith//// Same with me,30 years ago I loved mowing my 3 acre yard,keeping the Large 2 lane Driveway cleared,all always looking pristine.NOW IT'S JUST A MAJOR PAIN IN THE ASS!!!!! I NEED TO SELL OUT,BUT I LIVE IN A VERY NICE AREA AND I OWN TO MUCH STUFF!!!!! IT WOULD BE A NIGHTMARE!!!!!
how many hp you have under that hood becuz i have a lawn mower but he couldent blow the snow with my attched blower so now i am making something to attche it to my atv but i dont know either if it is strong enough and to shovel 1000 square metres is no option either
Makes sense. Has the Chute ever clogged though?
When the aliens attack, just toss them into the snowblower.
What is the highest amount of snow you've dealt with, with this behemoth? Did it bog down?
impressive
what is the difference between a 1st and 2st.?
Why do you have Simplicity Prestige in ( ) ? Does Craftsman just use the Prestige and paint it black??
can u make a vid showing how you work the bucket?
Hey, I have a question. I recently bought a new Prestige and am considering the snowblower attachment. You have used yours for 2 years now. Any issues that I should know about? Belt issues, pins breaking off, any issues with getting the subframe on/off, etc.? I would rather get the attachment but, I don't want to make more work for myself (like with the standard MTD-made Craftsman tractors). I've heard some horror stories.
The subframe once you have the bolts set, it slides right off when you want it too. and only goes on if parking brake is on. I have the push blade and havent broken a pin yet.
The snow throwers with the rubber augers do a much cleaner job.They actually rub the pavement and sweep it clean.
The rubber augers are only on Single-Stage snow throwers which are limited on how much snow they can handle. This is a two-stage thrower, one auger to throw the snow towards a second auger that throws the snow up the chute. Two-stage throwers are more powerful, throw further, and almost never have clogged chutes in heavy snow.

I have a friend who is 76 and has had a husquevarna for 8 years now with blower. He loves it..
Show how the tractor does this yr...
so this is a simplisity tractor then?
👍
Great, but don't bother changing the initial transmission fluid after the first 50 engine hours like the manual says, it was pure clear like water and not worth the trouble of changing it so soon.
how is that working now
I moved to Colorado on a mountain and got a John Deere x739 because it has 4 wheel drive and 4 wheel steer. I sold this one to a friend back in Milwaukee. He took the chains off but still uses the weights and says it works fine on ice without chains on his flat driveway.
thank you for your reply
How to adjust springs
Is this Bob Vila?
very nice outfit
You might be hanging too much counterweight for the size of the blower and the strength of the tractor frame. Otherwise, that set-up hauls ass!
That tractor could still spin its tires even with the full weight load approved for that tractor.
Wish the fuck I could afford something like that!
don't forget a path for the oil man,
I have a craftsman lt1500 can i put a blower on mine
Yes you can, Bercomac makes snowblowers for different models, Google Bercomac. I got one for my YT4000.
Now that i see the front end, I'm guessing so.
Don't really think you need that much weight in the back, might steer better if you removed some
+Ron Chapman Don't need that much weight, but it sure was fun flooring the pedal on 30 HP while doing short back and forths and speeding through deep snow, it could still spin the tires a couple inches even with that weight and chains, until the next chain link grabbed. I've since sold this to a friend who doesn't have a grade on his driveway and doesn't use the chains at all but still uses the weight for when it's icy. Now I have a JD x739 with 4 wheel drive and 4 wheel steering with no weight or chains, this one does steer much better, especially when the plow is scrapping the ground, which seemed to be the largest hindrance to steering the front on the old one. Now the back does half the steering even when the front is planted.
Could never do that with a plow.
I have the mtd yarworks with 20 hp vtiwn , and I find in heavy snow first gear is to fast.
This tractor has a hydrostatic transmission, which has a go and a brake petal with continuously variable speed. Having used both, I would highly recommend the hydrostatic option over anything with gears, much easier to control.
