PeacemakerJack 10,738 #1901 Posted October 31, 2022 A big shoutout to my buddy @Shynon for selling me a 48” deck and bagger for Momma’s Big 523D. It comes in useful throughout the year when the lawn “gets away on us” but this time of year it is necessary given the amount of trees in our yard. The big diesel handles the mower/blower with ease. I am so thankful for this setup…really nice for leaf retrieval! Winter is coming🥶 10 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

D_Mac 8,607 #1906 Posted November 21, 2022 I live 90 miles from Buffalo. Buffalo got about 80 inches of snow Fri-Sat. Here we got nothing. Funny how the wind blows. 3 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rjg854 11,360 #1908 Posted November 21, 2022 I don't mind not getting 77" of snow, seeing I'm only 64" tall. Besides where can you pile up that much snow. 3 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When we built our current home, I took into consideration where cleared snow would go when planning the driveway. The city dwellers clearing a parking place after a heavy and then defending it from opportunistic parkers make for good story lines every year. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they park a PU truck there just fill the bed with a snow blower. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elcamino/wheelhorse 9,297 #1917 Posted November 22, 2022 I have some of those fiber glass rods that screw together for cleaning a chimney , you bring the flag and I 'll bring the poles. That way we will not lose him at the BS. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I plowed 3" snow with one 2 weeks ago for the first time. about 30 degrees. 15 minute run time and batteries were at about 82%. This is roughly equivalent to running 1/2 hour in warm weather pulling my full train with 7-10 kids... Not good comparison but closest thing i have... I'm guessing i'll get 20% or so loss due to cold... but that's just a guess... and is of course dependent on temperatures... I will be seeing how it does this winter plowing and do plan to run it down once to time its drop dead run time in the cold...
