Snow My new EMAX 22

[ForestGrump]

Love it! One week old almost 28 hours. I got it the day before a series of three winter storms hit, dropping a total of 5 feet of snow. I have mastered the FEL and it is my basic tool in piling the snow up to 6+ feet high. Often having to take it to a safe spot to dump. It handled the last 30" easily as it did the first 30". I have used it to clear neighbors drives of all 5' of compacted snow. No problem including cutting through the huge and very wet and heavy berms.

Your snow must be like fairy dust. The remelt/ freeze stuff around here a front end loader struggles. Lucky the most we had at any one dump this year is only 10"

No it's a little bit heavier than fairy dust. Storm #3 started out with 4-5" snow then turned to rain 2.17" then back to snow then down to 5 degrees. Pretty heavy dense stuff. A 600 series JD grader had trouble pushing it. They lifted their blade and brought in its bigger brother. Perhaps it's my technique.

Exciting! I'll throw out this as a suggestion if you plan to keep using the bucket for snow-

Those look like they could be useful for more than just snow.

OP: Congrats on your eMax22!

If the mods are compatible with the eMax25 then I might take advantage of them!
