Here is how I store my blower for the summer [ I have a backup tractor with a 6' blade, so don't have a cow ]. Once you drop it flat onto the ground and get it all unhooked, back the tractor away, etc... I lift it off the floor using two floor jacks, you can do it with one, but it is easier and faster with two. The lift points I use on mine is almost a perfect balance point, so you might have to use others on a smaller blower. I lift it up high enough to put the center cart underneath. This also is high enough that I can put the two under the front part of the blower itself. Then lift the rear by hand [ just about weightless at this point ] and put the last cart under the rear. Then lower it to the ground. You can move it fairly easy, but I usually use a wheelbarrow handle to persuade it which direction I want it to go. Put the chipper on [ it has it's own roll around cart ], and my tractor is ready for knocking some trees down IF THE SNOW EVER LEAVES...... :)

That’s one to ensure we will have 6 more weeks of heavy snow! The jinx is on!!

Setup looks good!

When I had the Gravely, both the snow blower and plow could be stored in a very small space.
