The cords a bit of a hassle, but it’s way lighter than a cordless,gets the job done and I can leave it out all winter.
About to shovel 6" of snow the old fashioned way on 100' of sidewalk (corner lot). At least it's dry powder this time.
just saw the new neighbor down the street out shoveling his driveway to "free" his tesla. There is probably 0.25" of slush that is so spotty it wouldnt even count as a dusting. It was melting faster than he could "shovel".
ya'll should hire him for your snow removal needs. he seems really eager.
I just did that at my parent's house with similar depth. Plus an extra wide driveway. Didn't make it out before the sun hit the ground so it was getting pretty heavy by the time I got half way through. Definitely reminds me that I don't miss shoveling snow.Quote:

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:

Prepare to get hard, dudes.
Y'all want videos or do you like your blow porn static?

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.

Dude that owns the company told me he makes all his money on big landscaping projects in the summer.Quote:

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

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.

Rev, looks like my neighbor got one too. He’s making short work of some dense settled snow

With a big scraper like that there are ways for the town to get around blocking DW's with a berm ^^Quote:

here they only use trucks with mid mount plows so its not possible
berms aren't too bad with a smaller snowblower if you get them before they setup
A good bottle of whiskey gifted to the plow driver will do wonders to keep a driveway clear.
That's exactly my setup. No pics yet as I've been out of town but that's the goods.Quote:

Not exactly “personal snow removal”, but these are the guys who took care of my condo complex in Big Sky. Homeboy said these are $200K each.
I always dreamed about driving one of these on a big day. But then I would have missed first chair and I came to my senses.

This dead in the water Unimog with thrower was for sale out in McAllister for $10,000 back in 2020. The fucker sold in about ten minutes.

I think $200k is very, very conservative.Quote:
