elcamino/wheelhorse 9,296 #52 Posted January 31, 2021 @WVHillbilly520H Well looks like you could pull the big boy snow eater out and see how it handles this mess. So far only got about 3 1/2 inches down here in the flat lands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So far only got about 3 1/2 inches down here in the flat lands. Still snowing, tapering off, just about 6" of a wet slightly heavy snow I just cleared off the deck so the "mutt" would go out to do his business in the yard instead of it... Yep gonna use the "beast" to justify the purchase . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really hating the media anymore..... Really !... We hardly ever get snow, but when there's even a small chance the media is all over it. Hey it's winter!... It snows in winter !

They are calling for a lull then start back up, if it doesn't start back up, then I will hit it about 3-4 O'clock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 11,045 #59 Posted January 31, 2021 I've got rubber chains on the blade tractor but decided that I probably wouldn't need them on the blower tractor. Last winter I put markers in key spots of the driveway so I would stay on it and we barely got any snow so I didn't do it this winter. After all, the average snowfall for Knox is about half of where we lived before. We can still get lake effect but usually not near as much. The system that came through didn't care about zip codes. We woke up to about 8" of extremely heavy snow. I decided to blow it so off I go with the blower tractor.....with no chains. I got close to the end of the drive nd got off the edge. It quickly became clear that I wasn't going anywhere so I shut her down. Out comes the blade tractor. Once I got around the stuck machine I had my wife get on it and told her to back up as I nudged up against the blower wing with the blade. I motioned for her to start going but it didn't seem to want to. Then I saw the tires spinning. She had it in 3rd gear. I hollered for her to use the OTHER reverse. That worked and I got it back on the drive. I told her to just park it in the garage. The moral of the story......I've already got a set of rubber chains ordered for it and you can bet I'll put the markers in next winter. Gotta go open up the end of the drive now. The county came by. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darb1964 1,042 #60 Posted January 31, 2021 Just waiting for it to arrive, looks like we're in the twelve to eighteen with thirty mile an hour wind. The Berkshires have been getting an old fashion winter. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
