Buggers, that's cold for Kalispell. For years I got away with just a heavy flannel when I lived there.

Meh, we've had this 2-3 times before in the 25 years I've lived here.

Changed my snow plow wings from bolt on, to swing away. I'm thinking this will be much better than having to remove them every time I want to go from pusher to plow and back again. Now I just need some snow to try it out.

It's pretty simple but took me a bit of sitting and thinking to figure out how it would come together plus it took a while since I did not have the some of the materials I needed. So I had to make them from scrap steel in my junk pile.

We miss it there. Lived there from 1996 to 2017.

Star Valley is nice. Winter is a full 6months here and it's fairly windy. The winds come out of the S, SW and my road runs east/west so there are some days I have to plow 3 times to get in and out. Summers however, are wonderful. Usually average around mid 80's with a 5-10mph breeze with maybe a week of 90's degree weather.

I don't think I have seen your plow. Just the blower you have mounted on the FEL.

I got the basic idea from some pics another one of our members posted a few years ago.

edit: I only use the plow without the side plates in the last few hundred feet of our driveway that is on the neighbors property. He built that part and made a terrible mess of it. It is very rough and I refuse to use my blower on it since he won't remove rocks from it before the snow flies and he does not want me to remove them. I don't even like using my plow there because of how rough it is.

I used to have a shared drive, never again! This one was only 150 feet long, but tapered from 20 feet wide at the top to 60 feet wide at the bottom, and had houses on both sides. Neighbor never did a lick of shoveling, choosing to just park on my half and block me in after I'd cleared it, so I spent those 13 years clearing both my side AND his, every time it snowed.

Does the neighbor think the rocks serve a purpose?
