Oh happy day, my dealer was finally able to deliver my Woods SB74 yesterday! It's custom painted NH Blue which is a nice touch.. Still cost me less than a regular orange one at the local orange dealer..

Supposedly we are in for a big storm this weekend, perfect timing I say /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Kris a BLUE Woods snow blower? OK I am now John Deere GREEN with envy. Mine is the standard burnt orange color.

You are going to love that blower. You might want to bring it to my ranch in Ohio so that we can break it in correctly on my drive. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Yesterday the Cub Cadet was put on a trailer to go to the shop. The 48" front mount snowblower was on that trailer too. Both were just going to be tuned up and then delivered to my office for use around our loading docks and walk areas.

Tomorrow my new Buhler Farm King Y6010 3pt snow blower will arrive. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

TODAY, we got our first snowfall. 4" to 5" of really heavy wet snow that was on top of some ice/slush. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Sometimes life sucks. The first good snow of the year and I have no toys at home to play with it!!! /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Bob I have never heard of a Buhler snow blower. Can you share a picture or two? Where did you find it?

The website Kris posted pretty much says it all.

My local NH dealer sells them and has for years. We are on the edge of the Lake Michigan snow belt so we usually don't get a lot of heavy snows, but when the wind shifts we can get really dumped on. It usually happens a couple times a year.

This morning we had no snow at my office (17 miles north of my house) but we had 4" to 5" in the driveway at home on top of a ice/slush base and when I left the house at 6am the snow was coming down pretty hard.

I could get by with less of a blower, in fact the 48" blower on the front of my Cub Cadet works great, but I had my Cub & blower picked up to be brought to my office leaving me with nothing for this winter at home. My office is paying for the tune up of the Cub and any repairs, if necessary. I wanted a 3pt blower so the arrangement works out for me, besides putting the blower on the Cub is a real pain in the ... and this way someone else will do it, then switch it back in the spring for mowing, already tuned up with the blades sharpened. In the mean time I get it out of my garage so I have room for all my implements to be stored inside.
