Reddart 207 #80 Posted February 4, 2022 We got several inches of freezing rain. Like little ball bearings that bounce off the patio railing and land on the flat -low surfaces. And then stuck together. Like a sno-cone in consistency. We’ll see how the C101 plow handles this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 67,593 #82 Posted February 4, 2022 We were forecast for more snow but the storm moved inland. We had more rain and sleet than initially planned. Snowing now and should most of the day. Might end up with 4 or 5 inches or a touch more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rjg854 11,378 #86 Posted February 4, 2022 Wound up with maybe 7" of snow that was perfect for snow throwing. Wind was a big help too, out of the north, as I have to send the snow to the south. I certainly like storms like this, I hope everyone faired as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rusty Tinsnips 477 #87 Posted February 4, 2022 We got around 12". The Raider 14 did the job but struggled some. Decided to use the tracked skidsteer for the neighbors drives. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reddart 207 #88 Posted February 4, 2022 It was icy packed deep. I adjusted my blade angle all the way back to try to cut in, and cobbed together a hillbilly holder for 20lbs of weight on the blade, and it still wasn’t enough to cut all the way down. I made several passes and at least got it down fairly close to the gravel. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I should have read your post before I went outside. 953 died the FARTHEST POINT from the garage. Fuel issues. I managed to get it to limp back in. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There're plans/measurements here somewhere. Piece of strap steel and (2) 3/8" pins will get you going. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OutdoorEnvy 1,522 #98 Posted February 4, 2022 Well wouldn't you know it we got some snow here in Oklahoma! It's from that big band moving east across the country. Got about 7 inches here. Enough to warrant my first use of the plow and remind my wife I didn't buy it for nothing! Also cleared out the neighborhood entry! I can see where weight would help a lot. I'll keep an eye out for weights and also maybe make a project this year to fluid fill the tires. Had fun though enjoying the WH! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
