Here comes the snow!

High Compression · Feb 21, 2013

We are getting a good shot of snow today. I hope to get some pix for everyone. We're getting Thunder Snow at rates of 2" per hour. They forcast 15"-18" within the next 12 hrs.

Here's some of our commercial equipment that we got ready yesterday. L to R Case 580L 12' pusher, Case 580M 12' pusher, Case 521 wheel loader 14' pusher, Case 721 wheel loader 16' pusher.

HC, it looks like the 721 could use some tires. Doesn't this hamper you somewhat with the snow removal? Also I noticed the backhoes are really sticking up high. Are there places you plow that you have to worry about striking something with the hoes? Not criticizing as I think you have some nice equipment, I'm just curious. Stanley

Pic was before new boots on the 721. Here they are to the tune of $10k.
As for the hoes, can't lower them without unlatching them from transport mode. To answer your Q though, no, there is no conflict with where they push. Grocery stores, Wal-Marts, etc.

Correction, the snow is here! 4.5" in 2.5" hours! Wow. The thunder is pretty cool. Don't get that very often.

Its started here in Macomb Illinois also. I can't say for sure, but probably an inch or two an hour.

I'm leaving Monday for a snowmobile ride in Matane (Quebec) they just had a major storm two days ago, and now there are expecting 24 inches more. It's too bad there's only a place for my snowmobile and not for the tractor!

Those's pics were taken yesterday.
