That it does. It also pays for colonoscopies, but you don't see me running out to get one just 'cause... :laughing:

Well, it's somewhere that only 'professional help' will do.
It takes me about ten minutes to clamp the three Edge Tamers :thumbsup: onto one of the buckets. I shovel once across the garage and barn doors while the tractor warms up and pull snow out from them with the BB. I gather piles and dump them where Spring runoff will drain away from both gravel drives. I have 550' to clear plus turn-around at the 'T', Nest doors only have 200'. They gets 4 spaces to park & I clear six or so for the folks in front that share my d-way.
The procedure is old hat now, but the ETs have cut time almost in half. No more fussing to level the bucket lip to just skim to a hard pack and leave the gravel in place. I've never had to deal with more than 12" of snow at once, and a 3" fall is enough to get me out there. I also clear a big turn-around area for UPS/FedEx guys. I'll do about 40' x 40' over grass in 5 min or so. Grass will be poking through but none gets scraped into the pile doing that.
Anyway, results is what matters. Props to the OP for nice work, and once again for not gouging the lawn while 'staying the course'. btw, I'm sure the Mrs knows she has a keeper, too.

Thanks!
Well, she says that occasionally, but it's interspersed with contrary "information" :laughing:

NOPE, it looks like you did a professional job clearing away the snow.

I would actually disagree.
Professionals are paid for their work*, and typically are much more efficient. BUT not always do they produce better results, as they don't usually have as much invested as the homeowner...
*I get paid, but not in dollars
