Snow Equipment Owning/Operating Pictures of your snow weapons

I keep thinking it would be easy to do a roof from the ROPs and hang plexiglass down from the edges. It might be a good way to get a feel for how I might want to do a cab. I do wonder if I should try to have the glass slanted out toward the top and hope to not need a wiper.

In "just right" conditions, the snow comes off this roof all at once. It's 80' across and about 50' up. The 6/12 pitch of the building changes into a almost 3/12 for the 35' deep lean to shed. By the time it slides off it's compacted and really makes a tight pile of snow when it hits the ground, gotta almost "chisel" at it with a plow. Normally this is a job for the skid steer, but it was inside the shop with only 2 out of 4 tire chains being put on and "mama" was going grocery shopping:laughing:

Have finally received a good 8 inches of snow. I hope it lasts. Had to clear path thru woods....may finally be able to run horse and sleigh thru trails tomorrow.

Nice to have you here with us Dr Gas! We've stayed with friends in Alta before and I used to reside in the NE corner of your fine state.

That might actually be a good idea? I think you would get enough air that it wouldn't fog. Just need enough hanging down to keep it off your face and head, and still have room to get in and out.

Here's a pic I just took. Goes to show how much I like my open station Kubota, because my plow truck is getting buried, LOL But I figured I'd plug it in and fire her up and move it, so I can clean up around it.

A golf cart enclosure over the top of a canopy does well to keep most of the snow and wind off of you. One less layer of clothing needed that way.

Cheap vinyl cab makes a world of difference with snow blower. Typically don't even zip the doors. Cuts the wind and blowing snow.
