Not having snow has severely affected my FEL abilities :) During the off season (no snow) I rarely use my FEL. And yesterday I started a little project and have realized I suck at FEL use b/c I'm so out of practice.

I brush hogged one of my back fields, then used the box blade to scrap/loosen stuff up and then started using the FEL to take off that loose stuff. I suck. I either miss everything, gouge way down in or get nothing in the bucket. Oh man I'm so out of practice. I simply can't get a level scrape 'n load going to save my butt LOL

I can't wait until you get HUGE piles of snow -- maybe then it will drop below 100 here! :D

Since I have a front end snow blower and 250+ inches of snow I never used the FEL in the winter, but I have used it a lot this summer building a retaining wall. Our summers are pretty short here so I prefer to not have the snow any more than we normally do.

The first flakes up there fall in September which is around 8 weeks from now. Won't be long.....

Start a big old compost pile. You can turn it every week and it will give you some FEL time. Not to mention that you end up with a bunch of really good stuff. In late October you can use the FEL to spread that stuff on your garden or lawn.

Also some ice to make it complete!:D :D :D
