No way that picture is going from grass to snow. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif I want to come into the house and look at it after blowing one of those 24" storms out of the driveway. I LIKE getting the snow up in the air and having the wind change direction and blow it back in my face. You get the damdest headache that way. And because your face is coated with snow, it is a headache that will really dig in before you can get wiped off.
Thats when I want that picture with the green grass. Yes sir! I want to sit down and remember. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( Eat your heart out John. I know you MUST miss this part of tractoring. )</font>
I guess you mean me! Oh yeah, sure, I sure do miss not having to remove all that wet, cold awful stuff!
Every where I go here it's grass grass grass and trees and dirt, not white stuff though.
It's a great picture though, and that's the way I like to see snow, in a picture! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif John

I bought the blower 2 years ago from Champlain Valley in Middlebury, VT. It cost about $1400. I ordered it with hydraulic chute rotation. My CK30 was purchased with duel remotes so one rotates the chute and the other is on the top link. That is very handy in early winter before the ground freezes. Shortening the link rolls the blower back and lifts the cutting edge up. Lengthening the link brings it closer to the ground.
I would think with the cost of steele rising the blowers would be a little more expensive but not a lot more. And I saw a pretty interesting blower on the lot at Moore's Corners a couple of weeks ago. I did not get the make. Blowing sure beats the heck out of a blade. You don't have to plan on where to put the piles in early winter so you have room in late winter. And it is a lot faster than plowing.
You can tell that KiotiJohn misses our winter season can't you Gerard.

You can almost hear the longing in that statement. It may be the fact that he never has to get bundled up in so many clothes he can't move before he goes outdoors. Or the challenge of getting on the tractor once you get bundled up. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I don't know if I'm alone in this among guys born and raised in the south.... even though NC isn't what I would call the deep south, snow here is a rare treat. I'm 33 and still look forward to any hint of winter weather, even the nasty icy stuff, like a little kid.
Maybe I need to trade a winter with one of you guys up north but just one time in my life, I want to be forced to crawl out a window if I want to go somewhere because the snow is that deep... hehehe.
Oh.. and BTW... I'm not your typical southern hypocrite when it comes to winter weather. I don't run to the store to buy bread and milk if the weatherman even hints at saying the precipitation word. <font color="blue">I LOOK for excuses to be out in it! </font> /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
In fact once the white stuff actually does start falling around here, if the wife would leave me alone long enough that I could get away with it.. I could probably be seen throwing bread and milk out the back door so she sends me to get some. heheh

I can't even fathom the idea of mowing grass year around. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif KJ is also missing out on the opportunity of using the snowblower to level off any high spots in a gravel drive 'before' the ground freezes rock solid. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Al, I put the plow on my ATV the other day, since we are both ready this means we won't have and snow this winter, probably just ice storms followed by weeks of below 0F temps!!! /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

That's the strangest looking PTO chipper/shredder I've ever seen. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
Your right Greg. I'm glad I put it on. The temp outside right now on Dec 8th is 46 deg. If I hadn't put it on it would be 20 something and a nor'easter would be howling.
EastTexFrank....
PTO chipper/shredder ............interesting idea. Sort of self feeding. Just line up the trees in a sort of row and back down through them. Just might work, just might work. If anybody finds it does, please let me know.

You really have to feel sorry for KiotiJohn who has to look at only <font color="blue"> "grass grass grass and trees and dirt" </font> , and for Getut who for some odd reason wrote, <font color="blue">"I want to be forced to crawl out a window if I want to go somewhere because the snow is that deep" </font> /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Course you can tell he has never been hung up half in and half out of the window with no one around to help. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
You can tell they miss the frozen ground and having to wait for Mother Nature to dump a bunch of snow on them to get any tractor time. But, as you said, we get the opportunity each fall to really level out our drives in a way people with no snow can only dream about. And then each spring we get to examine the lawns looking for rocks in ways they can only dream about. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif
Have any of you designed a rock magnet yet???
