I once used a large blower and 4430 JD to move sunflower seeds in my quonset. Could only pile them so high with a grain auger and still pull the auger out. The blower did a nice job of filling her to the top of the roof. Nice video of the snowblower water pump.

Did you realize he was going to use it as a waterpump when you lent it to him ?? :eek:

I was thinking the same thing too - how potentially dangerous that could be, especially in the summer.:eek:

Chuckle!

Can just imagine loading the blower into a boat , pulling the cord to start the blower and with my luck the cord snaps and into the water I go for a non planned swim!

Better to quickly drink a case a beer and do what comes naturally!

Hey, I used my front-mounted 47" JD snowblower pretty much just as shown in the video yesterday to clear abot two inches of melt water and slush off of the top of our ice rink (it got a bit warm the other day). Worked great! Much faster than trying to push it off with a squeege or anything else.

The slush tended to plug things up, but the the water cleared evertyhing out quickly.
