Snow Equipment Owning/Operating Pictures of your snow weapons

Flow on the 3520 is about 8.6 gpm at the pump. It has a pump hooked to the mid PTO to achieve enough flow to run the blower. Cost me around $10,000 USD total. I use it to remove snow for about 35 customers, so I justified the investment for my neck. Blower weighs about 800 lbs. I will post some more pics once I get to blowing snow.

Hello mcwright, I almost bought a couple of those sheyenne blowers, they could not guarantee me the duty cycle and I do too many driveways to have taken a chance. Do you have the 3 or 4 blade fan? The 3 blade in the videos looks like it struggles and chugs. Really would like to see it in action! Please post when you can and the very best of luck with it. It is impressive. Also, could you post some pictures of the plumbing of the system? Thank you

Meanwhile in Minnesota the first storm of the 2016-17 winter season has begun.

Very pretty.

Looks like 4" to 12" depending on where I look out my windows. The snow is still coming down and is expected to continue for another six-and-a-half-hours. I'll fire up my tractor and start plowing when it looks like the storm is starting peter out.

Eric, the snow is very pretty, but you HAVE to explain your dock on the lake that looks like it hinged up in the air for the winter. Am I seeing this right?
When you get to plowing, some pics would be great for a guy anxiously waiting for some.

Looks like Eric is sending the snow our way. Local weather alert from National Weather Service Buffalo office came today. Says to expect 10-20" of snow in lake effect areas with high winds starting Saturday night through Monday evening. Of course in my area the forecast can change hour by hour due to lake effect and wind direction so we'll see if we get the snow this weekend.
