How are those working out for you long term?

Thanks for the ride along Gordon.

Thanks for the ride along Gordon.

Thanks. The quality isn't very good because of the vibration in the ROPS but you can still see how I use the plow. I'm just having fun fooling with the camera.

Roof rake 13' with 54 inch blade and ski's. It only works because of the flow control valves. When in doubt meter out. Had to clean off the house yesterday because of all of the snow received lately. Just an FYI. LaterView attachment 409452View attachment 409453

Still using that sucker?

I built this one for lifting. The working end is basically a big 4" reciever for various arrangements for different lifting situations. This "roof rake" was a natural for this, it's just a simple metal frame and the "cutting edge" is a pressure treated 2x10 bolted to the heavy angle and can pivot a few degrees to compensate for differences between the roof and the ground that the machine is on. It telescopes 9'.
The weather conditions this year just wouldn't let it slide off the metal roof and it would just drip when above freezing.... right where I process my firewood !
These pictures were early February, the whole season's snowfall to that point, we've had about 20" (2 storms) since then and they've both slid off on their own.

That is a sweet idea and attatchment spent a few days last week shoveling off my folks roof.

I haven't had to use it for probably 10 years (all metal roofs) but I had forgotten how fun or satisfying it is to have all that snow come thundering down right in front of you.

I finally got mine all set up. View attachment 488848View attachment 488849

Still got that? How's it working for you?

My son has a rough camp made from an old saw mill building and attached shed. He and my grandson use it as a snow machine base. I plow out his drive. It's on a narrow shelf cut into a steep side hill and the drive runs tight to the building along the eaves. I love it when I get there to plow a new storm and find the steel roof has dumped. Fun fun.

I forgot to ask - What are those two feelers sticking up from your neat rake Eric ?
