OMG, already thinking of winter

I'm getting my new tractor tomorrow, a new LS XR4140 with a snow blower. I might by crazy but I'm looking forward to some snow to try it in a nice, warm, dry cab. Then I have to figure out what other attachments I would like.

Congrats on the new tractor!!!

You set yourself up for little or no snow this Winter.

Deer Park! Hopefully we do get some this winter. Where I'm at (near you, in the mountains) I typically get about 3 feet. But winters have been really strange, especially this year.

And Congrats on the tractor! Cascade Tractor in Spokane?

I'm north of Deer Park right at the three counties borders. Yes, I did buy it at Cascade from Scott. I've bought both of my tractors from him. I have about 3/4 of a mile of road to keep clear plus the driveway and around the house. The snowblower is a monster. I wonder if I'm going to be able to move it myself or have to use the other tractor to help move it. Got really tried of snow blowing it on the little tractor. Took about 2+ hours by the time I did around the house and the road. Now I'm going to be warm and get it done faster. All this rain is killing me!

Yes sir, hurry up and wait. Zero this morning and 26 this evening. Supposed to be 35 tomorrow with some rain mixed with snow. Joy!

I saw this tractor sitting at Goodyear in Spokane. I’m thinking you must have had the tires filled. Definitely a nice tractor! And that’s definitely a monster front blower!

Very nice Snoscape. Great little trail-breaker too.

Not interested one iota.

Very nice! Yes, the rain does suck. Wish it was snow. I bet your eager to try out the new blower! I'm a bit jealous. I'm just using my bucket and box blade. I'd suggest chains too.
If ya dont mind me asking, what did that set you back, for the blower?
