The Trials Of Personal Snow Removal.

[dan_pdx]

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 was actually thinking the same thing about touring_sedan 😄: why so eager to start moving snow?

If the 9 year old wants to clear the driveway, why in the fuck would I tell him no?!!!

I've been shoveling snow since I was 9 or 10. First, the men/boys in the family would shovel the driveway walk and back patio. At 13-15, I would go out with a couple of friends and earn $ shoveling. ..driveways for $25 and $5 for walkway. 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 place

With a mile of plowing, much of it on a windblown hillside, I stopped fucking around this year.

Prepare to get hard, dudes.

Y'all want videos or do you like your blow porn static?

After shoulder surgery two years ago, I hired this guy for $35.


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.

We had kids for the "joy" definitely not for the free labor.

I’ve seen pics of your kid mowing grass too. You are a good Dad.

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

[Name Redacted]

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.

Bingo.

I'll shoot some snow porn this evening. It's the happiest place around.

No fair, I want one!

[Cruiser]

We all do. And if we don't, we should

[AlpiNord]

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.
Winter just pays the bills and keeps some of his employees.

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.

[ironhippy]

I stopped fucking around this year.

I, likewise, stopped fucking around and bought a Kubota

BX23s, tractor, backhoe, loader. Also got a 54 inch blower for the 3 point hitch.

I don't have a cab, but my snow removal problems are gone.

Here's a picture from this summer

[XXX-er]

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.

[XXX-er]

Or maybe just use a blade ?

First time i used a snowblower there was 2' of snow and somebody put it away with one sheared pin, i had to rob a bolt from somewhere

[evdog]

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.
