cschannuth 3,816 #1 Posted January 12, 2019 It has been snowing steady since yesterday at noon. Since it was wet I pushed last night when we had about 6”. I was amazed how well the 161 pushed the 54” blade. This morning my son and I both worked on the additional 6” we got overnight. It was his first time pushing snow and he did pretty well. After I finished up ours I did a couple of the neighbors drives. It pushed the 12” snow great too. It was pushing a pile darn near the size of our couch. My wife was even impressed. Enough bragging on the old girl. Here are a couple pics she took. 5 14 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dcrage 627 #3 Posted January 12, 2019 Going out to push our 10” snowfall south of St. Louis. Biggest snow ever in my 30 years here. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cschannuth 3,816 #4 Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) The best part of this is now I think my younger son understands why I enjoy these little tractors so much. When he was done he told me how much fun he had. Plus, I overheard him telling his mom how glad he was we had the tractors so we didn't have to shovel the hill driveway.

Andy N. 2,136 #10 Posted January 12, 2019 We didn't get as much snow up north in Chicagoland, but it was still enough to get both machines out and work them a little this afternoon. 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lane Ranger 10,946 #14 Posted January 13, 2019 Craig: I was watching the Weather Channel from St. Louis this am and when I saw the traffic backup on I-44 and people had been waiting for an hour to move I had to get moving in the garage! 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ClassicTractorProfessor 5,314 #15 Posted January 13, 2019 Looks like fun, almost makes me want to move farther north so I can get some seat time in the winter. We had about 4" last week, but the next day it got up to 70 and by 3 P.M. it was all gone 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lane, I think those people sat on I-44 for 9 hours. It was an unbelievable mess. Heavy snow and rush hour did not mix well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timo4352 147 #17 Posted January 13, 2019 I could stand a little bit of that snow... We have not yet had anything to plow in Cleveland. Maybe because this year I am ready and waiting... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
