Rollerman 290 #2 Posted January 13, 2010 Wow....thats insane! How long did it take to cut the path where it looks like your driveing by a bird feeder? I'm thinking you needed a flame thrower...not a snow blower. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Save Old Iron 1,566 #10 Posted January 13, 2010 SnowBelter, perfectly done. Having traveled thru your neck of the woods up RTE 12 and 81 for 30+ years, these types of snowfalls became what I expected every winter. Don't hesitate to tell the folks here that this is ONE STORM and sometimes the total accumulation for a "storm" is measured in FEET - not inches. Not feet in a drift, feet in measured downfall. Looking good sir, thanks for the pics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snowbelter 0 #11 Posted January 13, 2010 Hey guys yeah it was quit a storm I wish I could have had photos open and in order for you but still learning site . Not sure how long path took but mid-week my 100' circle drive turned into a half circle ,3-4hour nighttime cleanup then 1-2hour morning cleanup was taking its toll on top of 5 ,12-hour work days. But I'm proud to say WH earned my respect through those hard days. Yes the tractor with cab (and myself ) is the same tractor and photo is recent.I almost wish I could go back and do it again with my rig set up the way it is now .......... almost!http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx164/hallfam3418/feb%202007%20winter%20storm/DSC00078-1.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevebo-(Moderator) 8,330 #14 Posted January 13, 2010 My only add on this and you already said it ... would have been great to have the cab on BEFORE you had to take on that storm. My vote for the calander too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Operator 7 #15 Posted January 13, 2010 WOW!! How often you guys get that kind of snow? And afterwards does the temp. go into the below zero mode like we get over here after snowfall? Nice cab! was it for a Horse? or a refab? I just got the same style, got to mount it up yet. Fits good but the lower parts of doors will need revamping.

They are of one day in a week long storm that made national headlines for dumping 12 feet of snow in Mexico,NY I hope you don't mind if I embed all of those links in IMG tags so lazy bastages like myself don't have to click all those links to see the pictures. (Say the word and I'll delete the post.) A little more snow and you're going to need a bigger boat! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rollerman 290 #17 Posted January 13, 2010 Thank you Hank. I actually tried to do it earlier & didn't get something right then just excepted the fact I probably was up to early. Again snowbelter I am in awe of that amount of snowfall. It really shows what the Wheel Horse brand is capeable of! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chazm 413 #19 Posted January 13, 2010 Hey Snowbelter -from your location - Is that whats known as a lake effect snow ?? How far are you from Poliski ,NY ?? Good fishing up there Oh yea :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,705 #20 Posted January 13, 2010 Snowbelter... ...terrific pictures and I vote for the calandar also. Not that the horse would get stuck or anything...but if that did happen with the cab on during the first swype, would you be able to get out? w9jab...I remember that 67 Chicago snow...was delivering pizzas that night in an Opel Cadet. Manual trans, it would get stuck...I would put it in 2nd gear and get out and push with the tires turnning, and run and hop back in. Too old for that anymore. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
