Snow Equipment Owning/Operating Pictures of your snow weapons

And the "bear claw" anchors are removeable, so when you hit the trails they don't drag. Brings rear departure angle back up to match the tank, rather than having them hang down.

And. They double as beer openers:

Does that do it justice?

I see you are "opening" Pil! Must be in Saskatchewan!

There are worse ways to drop a tree, good idea, but what about a tree already badly leaning?

I use the winch on a Unimog Then I get root ball and all, go back and backfill, grass seed, and voila. (the tree it's pulling against is dead on one side as well, all were dead and dangerously close to the house.) I hate mowing around stumps.

Here's my BX25D just starting on this drive...took a while to get to that garage!

We had some very tall Douglas Firs on our property, my father would put on his climbing spurs then attached a cable halve ways up then pull the tree over bringing up the large root ball at the same time.

These Firs were well over 3 feet in diameter, one tree had been truck by lightning and died soon after, Danny Sailor a world champion tree climber wanted to purchase the tree to relocate onto his property so that he could practice up for the upcoming New York Worlds fair.

My father told him to limb the tree and use it where it was free of charge, we had a free show. Sailor before making the climb would drink liquid honey for that added energy. Where the tree was topped at 120 feet the diameter was a mere 10 inches across, Sailer would stand on the top swinging a holla hoop around his waist then suddenly toss his hard hat into the air then race it to the ground were he would catch the falling hat.

For those of you old enough to have taken in the NY world fair, Danny;s act had taken a turn he had broken his ankle as they say in show business the show must go one. In this case Danny had signed a contract to perform. And that he did.

He had a custom made fiber glass leg cast made up, with the cast he could climb but not endure the long drops in coming down the pole so he devised a long cable at an incline then from hos top pole act faked a fall. I did not attend the fair so I'm unable to comment on how the crowd reacted to the performance.

The winch my father used was called an Australian Bull winch rated at 75 ton.

For some reason reminds me when I was a young lad and we would have 2' of snow like that, with just a snow shovel to bail it out. But the BX is a step up from that.. but keep in mind, just one bite at a time..

Will try to keep this thread on task of snow weapons..

Not my snow removal equipment, but pretty impressive. I saw this guy driving down the road yesterday widening the roads. They were starting to close in.

Here are a couple others I saw driving around the streets of Prince Edward Island.


Thought you guys might enjoy these pics as much as I did.
