If you are in the Mid-Atlantic area you know that many, many sub/compact tractors have been sold in the past month. It was impossible to get a snow blower for weeks. Talked to my local Hardware store manager, and he said they have sold ~100 snow blowers. That's after having to sit on inventory for 2-3 years.
Also said they sold over 190 snow shovels in less than an hour. Got another delivery a few days later and they had customers waiting in line around the outside of the store to buy.
My MF dealer has 8-9 sold waiting to deliver just in Feb. And, he is a small dealer.
What is funny about snow blowers we do not have that many tractor mounted here, and so few front mounts, that my dealer can not remember having ordered one. He has one on order as we speak. :>)
