Hey Neighbor! I live down in Truckee. How deep are you now? I am in the "banana belt" with 3'. Show them the photos of the tunnels to the front doors......Once the walls are established, it is tough to widen it.

I ran mine last year in a just short of 24" snow storm and it was not phased one bit and I did so at a speed much faster than the front mounted blower by at least 3 times.90% of snow events where I’m at in the East are storms less than 12”. I assume these storms would be easily handled by most rear pull (inverted) blowers and the tractor pulling them.
…but how deep of a storm can you drive through pulling the blower? Don’t they get those huge powder events out in the Sierras?
Yes. I do believe Fisher was using that motto but when I first started in snow removal I was clearing power substation drives. I had a route and I went from station to station in 3 towns from the first flake to the last one.I think that used to be a little slogan that Fisher plows used. "Plow with the storm" and it's a good rule to follow for the big ones.
We're having a nice snow right now, it's really late in the season for a nice snow. The previous snows were chitty wet snow on marginally frozen ground. We have about 8" on the ground and since I'm hard up for snow I'm going to play a little here in a minute.
"They" are calling for 10" as their high guess but the radar shows this moisture originating about 600 miles away. Like I said, I'm "jonesing" for some nice powder.
Seems odd How come you never used the rated 540 rpm before ?Yes. I do believe Fisher was using that motto but when I first started in snow removal I was clearing power substation drives. I had a route and I went from station to station in 3 towns from the first flake to the last one.
Yesterday’s storm was 6-7” and then the rain came turning it into pure slop. It’s the first time I ran the blower at the rated 540 and it never skipped a beat.
The longer I own this blower the more impressed I get with it.
Never had to run it at 2500rpm’s. It has always thrown wet and heavy just fine. This was by far the most soaking wet snow I’ve experienced up here. My deck had over 2” of water on the bottom.Seems odd How come you never used the rated 540 rpm before ?
