Snowblower pics (lets see em)

[jlsmith]

Being from Tx we dont get alot of snow or need a snowblower. Would like to see some pics of you guys using them and how good they work. How often do you need to use them, and what do you do with the wall of snow when it gets to high? Just wondering

I do not have any photographs I can show you but....

Here is a youtube vid of what I and my crew do everyday from when the snowfalls to when it goes away.

Sorry this is older, from 2007, but it is one of a few that have been released to the public for viewing.

The voice you hear, is mine.

For the testers....yeah

Not for me.

I start the day video-ing the starts, then separate each unit into it's own video, edit them with titles, then send them to our corporate office for review.

Then I do data entry the rest of the day. Inputting all the temperatures we monitor on the machines and any and all repairs needed and done.

Then if I get any free time, I take lunch.

I hardly ever get to leave the office

Wish i had pics of the one i sold. it was a 9ftx4ft blower powered by a MF 1155. The tracor had a V-8 Perkins rated at 145hp.

If i get my new unit hooked up. I'll try to take pics.

As far as how often I have to snowblow? Just when it snows or blows and makes drifts. Sorry, couldn't resist. We get between 8 to 10 ft of snowfall.

Last winter the boys from the mid-atlantic got record snowfall. I bet they got some good pics.:thumbsup:

If you want to kill some time..................

Two winters ago..... about an 18 inch storm. The older I get, the more i dread winter coming. I have to admit though.... I really do enjoy it when we get walloped with snow.

jlsmith,
Sorry forgot the littl guy on right, Deacon Jones is his name, He's a Blue American Bull Terrier and weighs in at 95 lbs. Him and Samurai the Tosa are best friends although Samurai weighs 150 lbs the play time in the snow is a blast for these guys.

........ How often do you need to use them, and what do you do with the wall of snow when it gets to high?......

Blown snow goes so far you never handle it again - no buildup at the sides like with plowing.

 

[merrickvilleguy]

Up here I usually just plow it into the ditch across the road ... any left overs on the driveway are packed down by the truck ... get the odd complaint when family visits in citymobiles but no probs for me and the wife =)

Meant to add:
How do you guys find the PTO blowers, they bog down like the self propelled ones when getting into a full chute ?
