Check Your Grill

Aah, so I just didn't know the right pronunciation./w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif <font color=blue>know darn well a lot of Brats are sold and eaten there</font color=blue>. Yep, since every supermarket has'em, I knew someone had to be eatin' 'em./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif When we spent 4 months in Pennsylvania a few years ago, I ate my way through a county fair one day. I think I tried just about everything they had and enjoyed it all, but my favorite was the Italian sausage with the sauteed onions and red, green, and yellow bell peppers.

Thomas, when I was in Vermont, I did buy a few cans of maple syrup, but never tried any on a donut; just on pancakes, waffles, toast, and biscuits./w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

Now I'm hungry and the doctor said my cholestral levels were high.

Mike,
How long is your driveway? Is it paved or gravel or ?? Did you just use the loader? Do you have chains? I am kind of curious. My driveway is about 750' long. Unfortunately I didn't get to clear it yet. I usually don't bother unless it is impassable or I manage to stretch the day a little.

Thanks,
Paul

Paul,

The paved driveway at the house is 100' long with a three car parking area. The driveway at the barn is more than just a driveway. It's an area that's about 100' x 100' with a paved part (the driveway) and packed stone (the paddock area). I cleared the entire area at the barn, both the driveway and the paddock area. Both driveways are fairly level.

I only used the loader, no tire chains (although I have them). I did have to use 4wd.

I also have a rear blade, but the loader has worked just fine for me. I pushed the snow until I start losing traction, then curl the bucket back to get a full load of snow. At the house I dumped the snow to the side of the driveway. At the barn, I dumped it over a fence into the pasture or just drove out into the pasture to dump the snow. Also, before I started plowing, I sprayed the inside of the bucket with cooking spray.

Didn't know they were grilled? Follow the link to see the Brat Grill from He##!!! Click on the "Big Taste Grill" link on the left side of the page once at their site.

A few years back I was lucky enough to go to the Fiesta Bowl to see Fla St. play Tennessee (yes they lost...yes I was mad) and in the tent area this grill was set up. I would have worked that grill for free juust to say I tended a grill that big.

Dave: never had a problem keeping the grill clean of snow, no matter how much snow and we do get a lot of snow. how much dod u have to plow that it took 5 hrs. to clean up 7" of the christmas stuff?/w3tcompact/icons/hmm.gif

 

[frank_f15]

MIKE; sounds like just the way i plow, paved drive about 100 ft, r4's no chains, if it is too deep and heavy, pick it up and dump it on the lawn, use the rear blade for cleaning up or light snow. have never had a problem doing it that way. and i move a lot of snow./w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

Frank,

I started out slow putzing around the top of my drive being very careful not to hit my car with the FEL. There was a bit of learning curve since this was my first time plowing, but I think I did quite a bit. I plowed the my driveway ~ 400ft (all sloped & curved), and my neighbor's driveway ~ 300ft (all sloped), and our road ~ 1000ft (2 hills). I plowed a parking area off of the main road so that and my neighbors could park on the bottom of the hill if desired. I plowed many areas twice since another inch fell while I was playing. I even took the misses on a ride to the gas station, which is about a mile away. I'll take some pictures tomorrow to give you all an idea of the terrain.

I bet you do move alot of snow in your area! Shoot a large storm in our area is like flurries in your area.
