Calling for 6 to 12 inches Saturday night up here.

Same or maybe a little more for here...

Hiya,

Better go early to get your blower tuoysRme, called my dealer today to ask them when they were dropping off my front blower for my new cab tractor and even though it's been sitting on a pallet in the lot with my name on it for a month, they sold it to another person. Not a good day. They said another one is coming in next week, the snow will be here in 24 hours.

Now I'm stuck using a loader to take a foot or so off a 1000+ foot driveway or going out to get a 3pt blower to replace the one I thought I didn't need anymore and sold 4 days ago.....

Grrrrrrrrrr :mur:

Nearly 10" here now(6:10PM) and radar looks like it is going to snow for several more hours.
Tell me again about global warming...................................

I have 10" in Western New Jersey. Just spent 2 hours with my b20 and bucket because my plow is still out back for the summer. It is so heavy it is splitting trees like match sticks.

Winter came early!

Not expected here till midnight. Hopefully it wears itself out, or heads for Nova Scotia.

Fear not! I made sure we will have a balmy warm winter in New England! Got confirmation that my new Pronovost Group II TC-800 blower Pronovost Snowblowers: Group II is on a truck heading for the Canadian-USA border. Besides the turning drum it is equipped with the PCG-7486 + 25TR08 rotating chute and hydraulic deflector, and hardened shoes and cutting bars.. Saw one of these work last year...two feet of moist (not mushy, not fluff) snow. With the drum turned it was throwing the snow close to 65 feet away.
Now to plum the diverter valve to make my two rear remotes into three! :confused2: Time will tell!

Somebody goofed :laughing::laughing::laughing:

Let us know how the blower works.

Today I made sure it wont snow this winter. Just bought a new Blizzard 54 inch blower for the 3pt hitch. That should fix it.

The op isn't the only one that missed the mark:laughing::laughing::laughing:

Let us know how it works.

If you had already paid for it or signed papers on it, I hope that they will compensate you for selling you blower when you were expecting it to be delivered.

Yes. I guess I jinxed us on that one..We have a close to 2 feet here with drifts around 4 or 5 high. Today will definitely test the new equipment. Pics will follow.

Pixguy · Oct 30, 2011

I guess the OP, Koopster is too busy out snowblowing to report in. :laughing:

I picked up hearing that 6.8 inches of snow was on the way. I figured I would get to try out the 7' snowplow I mounted on the bucket of my tractor. As of 9:30 we have 2" and the temp is 37. I don't think I will be plowing today unless I want to get back into the garden!

Started snowing here around 9:30 Sat. night.Woke up to about 2-3" and still snowing pretty good out right now 10:00 AM.:thumbsup: I got about half of what I needed to get picked up around the yard, the rest I'll just find where every I stop pushing snow I guess:confused3:
One good wake up call to let us know it's coming, thank god it will warm up and melt off in no time.:thumbsup

I hope )

mpham · Oct 30, 2011

Just finished here. Looks like 24 inches.
Town plowed in all the neighbors so I used
the tractor and blower to help out.
The combo worked great!

:thumbsup:

This stom took the fun out of playing with new toys! I am glad we did not get as much as many of you are reporting but man oh man it was like a giant slushy out in the yard! The Pronovost p-800TRC preformed well, of course the amount of water slamming out the shoot looked like a garden hose!
Used the rotational drum to shoot the snow out the side instead of up the chute so I could move quicker without packing the chute full.

Will upload a video when finished mounting the lights, etc. THe Add-On electric solonoid valve splitter worked well, also, turning the 2 rear remotes into three as I need three to run the chute, deflector, and drum.

Hope all of your snow equipment worked well after the summer break

(so far away)

Am glad to hear you weathered the storm, and that your Provonost worked well for you.

Glad to hear your combo worked, and that you were able to help the neighbors.

So can we put the idea that New England will not get any snow this season to rest? :laughing:
