It was suburban NJ, so neither the driveways or walkways were more than 30 yards long, and there wasn't that much snow (although at the time, we thought that it was epoch). I think that removing snow is one of the reasons that I love winter so much .....well that and skitching.
This year, in addition to my JD garden tractor/blade, I am using a 24" Ariens. Easy Peasy, although I did tear a meniscus snow blowing/shoveling during the first storm of the winter.
Ohh, didn't realize that was your son. In that case, excellent work and please send him over when he's done at your placeQuote:

I sold my snowblower.
$35 per push?? Man, it's $50 minimum around here if you're lucky and that's for a postage stamp driveway.Quote:

Tool cat? My neighbor has one with tracks and a plow or he swaps the plow for a snow blower. In either case the turbo diesel and 4 wheel steering is seriously impressive in any conditions. It moves snow
Well, I was backing out thinking I was gonna get away with not plowing this morning, but right then the county plow came by and put a 2' snowbank at the end of my driveway. I could make it out, but the wife's car wouldn't so I got 20 mins of snowplowing in. Oh well.
Which bobcat???Quote:

No fair, I want one!
We all do. And if we don't, we should
My neighbor set up his skid steer w/a snow blower. I now have blade width envy. That thing is sweet.

He has a bunch of customers in my neighborhood and keeps the blower here all winter. I’m the first stop at 6am.
Need pics of the machine.Quote:

I don't have a cab, but my snow removal problems are gone.
Here's a picture from this summer
Attachment 483602
the thing with running any snow blower is you can't leave shit lying around to get sucked up and damage the equipment, my buddy was snowclearing with his Kubota/ blower but people would leave shit lying around cuz they don't care if he blows up the equipment and so he quit
A neighbor asked if i could clear some snow with my craftsmen but I did not trust their yard to be free of shit to wreck my auger so I declined but the guy across the street no problem cuz i see his DW every day and its always clear of stuff that woudl wreck my M/C
This. The answer of course is a snowblower powerful enough to grind up a large automobile and deposit it in another time zone.Quote:

We got six inches each of the last two nights. Wasn't bad yesterday. Today it rained much of the day and we couldn't get to it until later, so we were shoveling 4" of slush that turned to cement as you pushed it. The city brought out the big guns to deal with it. And of course left a nice big berm blocking all the driveways.
