Anyone out plowin?

whatever floats your boat buddy, I have used the graco sprayers, there is no considerable difference between them and the one in the kit. the kit from fluid film is more then adequate. but you seem to have your mind made up. I've been spraying for years, the kit works thats all you need to know.

If you only knew one half as much as you think you do!

I too wonder this, and I'd bet 99% of the rest of the guys here do to. Makes you wonder if they're just pretty looking with a friendly personality and NOT meteorologists and just anothe talking head reading someone elses interpretation of the latest NWS report.:confused3:

Had between 6 to 14" of snow on my private road plus a 2 to 3 foot high snowbank (my first real storm). When I started to blow, I didn't noticed that I was in high gear instead of low so even if I was on gear 1, I started at 4 mph instead of 1 mph. Only took a few seconds before the snow accumulated over the mouth of the blower and packed the chute hard (at first, I thought I broke a shear bolt). Cleaned this up, put in low gear and went my merry way. Switched to gear 2 (1,2 mph), the blower took it no problem. Switched to gear 3 (1.7 mph) and again, no problem. At 2.6 mpg in gear 4, snow started to accumulate behind the blower so not wanting to unpack the chute again, switched back to gear 3 and finish the first past up to the snowbank. Bad idea to keep it in gear 3 there. Packed the chute again. Unpacked it, raised the chute deflection so it shoot more straight (the fact that the chute was shooting too horizontal might have helped to pack the chute I think), switch to gear 1 and it swallowed that snowbank like butter Came back in gear 3, no issue. I like the blower 68" wide opening. Only one out and in pass and the road is done

Geared tractors and blowers are a true learning experience. I had one for 14 years......still messed up occasionally. I do love the hydrostat tractor

Snow around here reminds me of that Kung Foo movie - "Wax on - wax off". This morning at 6 AM - 5" of brand new snow. This evening at 8 PM - wet ground.

I think you mean that 'karate' movie, "Karate Kid" or its recent spin off, Cobra Kai

 

[oosik]

You are ABSOLUTELY correct. Pat Morita is teaching the Karate Kid by doing - wax on/wax off. Couldn't think of the title at that moment.

In any case - the tiny bit of snow in the valleys is almost gone this morning.

I think I can look out the big glass doors and see spring coming this way. In the last three day I've had two intense "spit ball" snow storms. Tiny snow balls, the size of BB's and it will last 15 minuets max. I call them "spit balls" because they are very soft - not like hail.

God, its been a long winter. One not soon forgotten.

My tractor must have a SUPERIOR anti-snow forcefield. I've only received a skiff two days in a row the last few days, while North central and central Idaho got all my snow. Oh, I do wax on - Wax off on a regular basis, I'm a children's instructor at my local Shotokan Karate Dojo.
