Snow Equipment Owning/Operating RAIN,SLEET & SNOW!

[dirtworksequip]

Was out grading up a slag roadway into a housing development and had rain,sleet and snow all within about 1 hour. So, RAIN SLEET AND SNOW A CAB IS THE WAY TO GO! It was truely beautiful. I didn't feel any of that cold damp weather. When I got back to the house my wife ask if I heard the thunder or saw the rainbow. I missed that, must have been consintrating on the work at hand. Makes me miss my old JD870 a lot less. I bet I'm not going to miss putting on all those clothes to go out and plow snow at 4:30 am either.

Suggest that you pack a coat, boots and gloves in the cab somewhere. It can be a long walk back for help.......Better yet, add a cell phone to list

Yup Cabs are sure nice iunder those conditions. The lighter plug keeps a cup of coffee warm too.

Morning dirtworksequip.
Being warm and dry good thing,but having cab also can be safety thing...ever been bomb by falling clumps of snow 30' to 50' from tree limbs,scares the heck out of you also tingles the shoulder area if you get hit...heavy snow fall there times I wear helmet.

Day lights well be soon and the wind still howling,and I am not looking forward to cleaning the lawn etc... from falling(lumber) branches & limbs today...another hot cup if you please.

I was in Michigan visiting the tractor's owner and the grandkids Saturday. We saw all the weather from sun to rain to sleet to snow sticking on the ground. And if we didn't see very the first time, it came back again a couple more. It made for a nice ride home, though with a good tailwind.

Roxynoodle -- I probably went past your place somewhere along the way. We took 30 west to 23/15 to 75 up into Toledo and then Michigan.

I'm right off 75 between Findlay and Bowling Green.

I run a grader with an excellent cab with Htr/AC. People really look at me funny when I'm pushing snow in a T-shirt. I carry cold weather clothing but like to strip down to a T-shirt and get comfortable. Takes me from 8 to 16 hours to go over my roads once, depending on how bad the drifts are.

 

[roxynoodle]

How far R U from Perrysburg Oh where my wifes sister lives?

20 miles.

I think I'll just throw the gear I used to wear when I plowed with my OROPS JD870 into a duffle bag and store it behind the 3520's seat. The only thing I'll be wearing is my underwear and a smile!
