cafoose 3,324 #1 Posted December 30, 2017 My sister and her husband live in Perry County, Pa and they got two inches last night. Her husband loves the C-120 he just got from me. I think he's catching the bug! 11 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 15,308 #2 Posted December 30, 2017 Yup. It doesn't take long to catch it in this kind of weather. When I first got my B-100 back in 1993, I couldn't wait for snow. The bug has never gone away. Now that I have a 416-H with a 48" blade, it's gotten worse. However, this morning's 3/4" of light, powdery stuff was easily dispatched with my new Stihl BR700 backpack blower. 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 37,492 #4 Posted December 30, 2017 About 3" here in Felton and still snowing. I enjoyed about 45 minutes of seat time on the 312H clearing a couple driveways this afternoon. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tankman 3,516 #10 Posted December 31, 2017 (edited) 'Bout two inches here, Eastern PA. The snow was quickly dispersed with my backpack ECHO. Horses are ready and the Grandsons wanna "Ride 'em cowboy". Edited January 2, 2018 by Tankman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've had other folks do the same thing - ask if I'd sell one really cheap , I just tell them to go try and find one for that price . Around here , all they want is the deep pan Kohler for their JD and CC equipment - isn't going to happen and they get told so in very few words which I wouldn't repeat here . Only had a few that knew WH and appreciated what they are - most everyone else is pretty clueless until they see the work they can perform . Heavy equipment Operators seem to get it - my brother in law is still amazed at what such a "small" machine can do around the property...lol .
