I miss using my snowblower. Didn't use at all last year and my plow blade has been adequate to move the dismal 11" we've received this season.

Cool picture. Looks like you do pretty good even with those turfs.

In Sept. I bought a used Buhler/Allied 50" rear 3 pt. snowblower for my CK20H tractor. The unit was in real good shape but beliveve it or not we have not had a big enough snowfall so far this winter to really test it out. I did make a mod on the crank angle for the shoot rotation to make it easier to reach. And I still may extent the crank but I don't want it to punch a hole in my fuel tank when the blower is raised up fully.

It really isn't that bad. I try and wait until the wind dies down before I clean. Prevents getting a lot of snow blown back in the face.

Actually, we have had a fairly mild winter for this area. Didn't have snow on the ground until after Christmas and only recently had about 3 weeks of -20C or colder at night. I really haven't gotten a lot of use out the blower this year, there is only about 6" of snow on the ground (touch wood).

Here's a picture of my 60" JRB rear mount blower. I love using it for removing snow, but with a hilly gravel driveway, I found the plow truck much more effctive.

That is a great looking unit. Are you saying that you don't use it?

Yeah, I didn't even hook it up this year. I wish I had though, the diesel in the truck gelled up and once I finally got it going I plowed the 18" or more of heavy wet snow. The piles all around my driveway are about 10'-12' high. Good for sledding, bad for seeing cars coming. It was cold and early so I didn't feel like pulling off the backhoe and hooking it up. My driveway is very rough with random rocks and stumps sticking up, not very good for snowblowing. Once it's paved, I will probably go back to snowblowing, it is a much cleaner and better way to move snow, just longer. (Power service 911 is awesome!)
