Snow Too much snow! Help!

I had a walk behind snow blower, they aren't that great. It was a two stage, 8hp self propeled, and it worked well, but it is still a lot of physical labor. Its just a lot of work to get it to turn and guide the thing. I sold mine when I got the BX.

In the snow we had, my 11.5 HP Ariens 2 stage would not move. You had to be here in Maryland/NorthernVirginia to understand how heavy this snow was/is. As some wise fellow remarked, I should have gone out while it was snowing and hit the driveway as the snow approached 6 inches or so. With 24 inches or so I got I would have had to go out six times overnight and during the next morning!

Listening to the evening weather a short time ago; you're in for another bout with "Mother Nature" and she's in a nasty mood. I was kind of hopeing to get a little of the white stuff up here,but no luck;the snowmobile is still stranded in the garage and my tractor/snowblower sitting there "unused"

Hi I'm new here but here is what I put together today, a Bobcat 72 inch blower stuck on the front of my L48. It was not easy I had to work around Bobcat's "black Box". Why a snowblower needs a microprocessor, I don't know. Look here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmcU0Jcn1Ac

I heard the same news it went from 4 inches prediction to another 20+ inches prediction. I tried to find chains for the BX but none were available. I will do the incremental plowing this time even if it is coming down heavy.

ouch! that really bites just to back into your own vehicles with the backhoe. Thats one of the reasons why I take mine off. Much easier to see. Granted the extra weight is nice, and if I get stuck, it nice to use BH to pull myself out.

Thought I would share a few photos from our last snowfall. Looks like another storms is hitting tomorrow afternoon, what fun!

The thing is, I never back into anything with the backhoe. It was the FEL that caused the damage, I had one of those no traction instant traction moments. I keep the backhoe on, no need to remove it as I have a BX1850 for the use of the three point hitch. Plus I have used the backhoe to get me out of stuck situations in deep snow. It can lift and move the back end of the BX.
