Anyone Have A Power Trac With A Snow Blower?

[Marks481]

The reason I ask about the snow blower is this is one of those rare years where I ran out of room to put the snow with the plow...

Well, consider that with the on-going specter of global warming, you can count on more frequent abnormally cold winters like this one. Maybe you will get more future use out of a snow blower than you think.

A leading expert on global warming said a few years ago that the NE will see Winters with colder than normal periods and then abnormally warm spells and fewer "normal" winter days. Pretty consistent with where I live.

Yeah, they said the polar vortex is like a spinning top. It usually sits at the top of the world. When the atmosphere warms up, that cold air starts to wobble and drops down from the poles making things horribly cold in some spots while abnormally warm in others.... anyhow, I'd like a snowblower if I could pick on up for free or dirt cheap.

I would think a snow blower would be a real pain in those situations where the wind blows it back into your face.

Its an excuse to fabricate a winter cab!

Thanks for the explanation - I had not heard that. This guy was just making general predictions of what the typical weather would be like in various parts of the country. I do keep looking for a cheap snowblower but it would be extremely rare that I would use it.

Yeah. It would be like one of those blades in a Swiss army knife that you only use once in a great while, like the fish scaler or fingernail file.

It would come in handy the 'post your picts of your snow weapon'.

My in-laws live in the Willamette valley in Oregon. A place that used to never get more than an inch of snow in odd years. I lived there for 6 years (20 years ago) and it snowed once. It got 18" a few weeks ago. 8" right after Thanksgiving as well. Last few years also have been abnormal. Weather patterns have definitely shifted...

since my Pt rototiller sits idle most of the time I thought about changing the tines and putting runners and paddles on it like a single stage snowblower, I must admit the rototiller does an excellent job of breaking up packed snowbanks
