The focus is almost entirely on owner-made modifications: hydraulic chute deflector, UHMW skid shoes, front third-function hydraulics, LED upgrades, concrete ballast box, and 3D-printed cab latches. Very little on stock specs or purchasing considerations, so it's most useful to MT357 owners looking for practical mod ideas.
Posted by the SnowChutes channel, which based on the content appears to be an owner-operator sharing hands-on experience using the tractor primarily for snow removal work.
It has about 250 hours with no mechanical or other issues, and the owner says it has been a joy to work with.
They removed the steel skid shoes and cutting edge for UHMW because they do a lot of work on pavers and it protects them from scratching and breaking.
It is filled with concrete, weighing about 800 to 850 pounds, to help counterbalance the front loader and the snowblower.
It originally had a manual chute cover, was modded to electric which did not hold up well, then switched to hydraulic so it can be controlled from inside the cab.
