Nice setup!! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
If you would like some more practice I have about 3hrs work for you. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif
Oh yeah all the coffee you can drink plus venison bugers also.

Streets? You have streets where you live?

Yes, I've got stacks like that several places where I use the loader. In several turnaround areas I blow one direction, reverse and use the loader the other way. I can't stack any more on top and can't easily push the tops back with the bucket.

If I keep doing the same thing, I'll have to stack more snow in the turnaround areas, but then I'd have to trade my 1/2 ton for a Toyota or something. I figure it's time to reverse my pattern and blow where I stacked and stack where I blew. The nice thing about a blower is that you've got that option. Make a mistake in the stacking area you need with a blade, and there's little alternative except for the cleared area to keep getting smaller.

Now that you've got the blower, no need to worry. It does take a little to figure the best pattern for using the blower. And, after the initial fun of using the thing wears off, you can continue to take satisfaction in refining your pattern, or in my case realizing that it's time to change it. Yes, we did get your storm the next day, and still carrying about 1.5'. That's the one that finished off the usefulness of my stacks. The tractor just can't climb up the sides of them anymore.

I'm on my way over. I've got the morning snack covered, venison sausage, with crackers.

Pat,
I was just re-reading this and I realized what you said about the chute control. From that I take it the snowblower is rear, 3PH mount. How do you adjust the chute from inside the cab/w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif? I guess sort of like the way I'm going to have to adjust the boxblade's tilt if I get one: climb off, set it, get back to work/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

What's the big deal about venison, anyway? We have so many deer out here I feed venison to the dogs!

Pete

PS: If you want a real treat, try venison fajitas with homemade tortillas!

Yearning for a bigger tractor!

I'll bet those venison fajitas are awesome.

This talk about venison made me realize something. I got 10lbs of venision in a freezer at a guys house (he owns the property and the camp we hunt on), and he just left for Florida and won't be back till end of April! Oops! Was to busy at work and for got about it. I guess more for the summer.

We got another 8 to 10 inches Friday nite. Forecast looks like snow ALL week/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif/w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif.

By the way, I like the Canadian stroy. Your in Stowe you should try living 15 min. from the border with a ski hill which is owned by Canadians.

Derek,
So thats where Friday snowstorm ended up. /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Home made hash browns and venison steak w/ english muffins plus pot of coffee, while setting by the sliding glass doors looking into Vermont as the morning dawns.

I'm getting hungry again thinking about it. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

In the winter,when I was a kid we usually had a frozen hind quarter hanging outside on the back porch. Mom would go out with a hachet and chip off chunks for breakfast. They were about the size of a silver dollar and she would flour and fry them with salt and pepper and make hash browns. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
