Snow Equipment Owning/Operating Pictures of your snow weapons

I loose sight of the "rake" when snugged up tight to the building. Those fiberglass driveway markers help.

You have a standing seam metal roof? With no exposed fastener heads?

My son has a rough camp made from an old saw mill building and attached shed. He and my grandson use it as a snow machine base. I plow out his drive. It's on a narrow shelf cut into a steep side hill and the drive runs tight to the building along the eaves. I love it when I get there to plow a new storm and find the steel roof has dumped. Fun fun.

I have a lot of buildings that I have to plow twice for this reason!

I eventually abandon these doors, it's mostly out of season storage like lawn stuff and Mrs Rustyiron's Mule.

No, screw down. They're down on the "flats" of the panels.
A lot of the time I just need to get the snow started and it's on its way down.

I just bolted everything back on the tractor after the repairs. Tuesday through Friday might be very interesting!

 

[DHD]

Is it tuesday and Wednesday we're getting a nor'easter ?
I can't wait.
Kind of a weird winter, seems like were getting most of our snow in March.
I don't mind snow removal. I like it much better than mowing the lawn
in the summer, when it's hot, and muggy.

8" so far at 7:30 am here. Pretty wet and heavy too.

Thinking about going out to do something;

bird feeder with at least a 14" cap on it,

Looking out the kitchen door

Probably one of the last snow blowings of the season for me, has been in the upper 40's into the 50's and snow is melting from both top and bottom, as ground isn't frozen.

What mine looked like at 1 PM today about 16-18 inchs, we have gotten another 6 inchs so far today and still snowing;

A dozen small trees down and limbs, just shoved them out of the way for now, several more need to be cut
and I've got to buy a new mirror damned limb got it.

Lucky Lou !!

Mt Washington and the presidential range is 30 miles due east of us. So as big coastal storms move up the coast we get the wet side first on south-easterly winds then a lull as we become shadowed by the mountains with east winds. Then we get a second batch of colder dryer snow on northeast winds as the storm moves further north. That makes our totals for coastal storms less. We had a quiet spell around noon and I plowed off the wet stuff. A rough job but I had nothing to gain getting into the dirt this time of year. 4th of July will take care of it. Supposed to get some more tonight and tomorrow.

i still have 3' of snow on ground/.... but a week of high 40's predicted should get rid of some of it.

I like seeing how little you look back at your inverted. You must still be a happy camper!

It's awesome, I just use the mirrors.

 

[airbiscuit]

The more I use my inverted, the less I find myself looking back. I still think local dealers are missing out by not stocking these.

They absolutely do. Like my forestry winch, I had to go dig for one just like I did with my inverted blower.

 

[LouNY]

I seldom look back when blowing with my inverted when I hear pebbles clinking I glance back and see how much dirt I'm blowing.
I was pleasantly surprised at the size of limbs it was handling today, under an inch or so if I didn't feel a bump when the front tires went over something in the snow the blower was spitting stuff out quite well. I didn't get pictures while I was working as I was to busy looking for large limbs in the snow. We are pushing past the 2 foot mark now of wet heavy snow on thawed driveway.

I am ready for winter now. As you can see the power pack has the summertime oil cooler. Instead of what was sent with the blower for the chute control the installers added the 3rd function instead. (I am very happy about that)

So let it snow!

What's the long term review on that bad boy?

 

[tacticalturnip]

Well, snowed again yesterday; I'll be out cleaning it at some point today, but I'm not in any hurry.

 

[ArlyA]

Our forecast, no big deal.
