Snow Equipment Owning/Operating Pictures of your snow weapons

[skills4lou]

I bought my chain tool from zoro.com
Quick shipping and a quality tool.

So far we haven't had enough snow to push anything, so my tractor is just sitting in the shed.

Just got my snow push dropped off this morning! Fully equipped now. Hoping I get by no worries without chains but we will see.

I have the set up as posted in post #5103.

I have been very eager to use it and here's how it went. We go a few inches of snow a few weeks back, I jumped in the tractor ready to blow some snow. Well, I blew some snow and lots of gravel. So the next storm we had (about 5-6") I just drove on it and packed it down. Now I have a hard flat snow surface to work from.
We got about 4" last night and I thought lets give the blower a go. WOW!!!! That's how happy I was with how well and easy it was to clear the snow. My drive from the county road to the house is 400' long then the area in front of the garage is maybe 50X100. I think I was done in less time than it took to warm up the tractor/blower. :laughing: I did it with tennis shoes, T-shirt and no coat. I was so happy I forgot to even put on my sunglasses. The best part.....my neck doesn't hurt. I was looking forward the whole time.

So for those on the fence about a blower. I am so glad I bought mine.:thumbsup:

Sorry no pictures, my wife is shopping so no one to take the pictures. We are supposed to get a big storm from now until Saturday night. I'll get some pictures then.

This would be fun to have! Totally impractical now, but I'm sure it was useful back in it's day. Talk about heavy duty snow removal!

Better dress warm for those long runs.

Somebody must have stayed up all night welding that thing together.

And just think about the shoveling when it got stuck.
And before you say it wouldn't, those old V plows had a habit of getting stuck in the drifts that filled draws.
They plowed so slow that you just pushed the snow back a bit then it would drift back in and fill your, repeat 2 or 3 times,
then all of a sudden you ran out of traction as the snow was falling over your blade and you spun a bit sideways,
then the plow hangs in the hard pack when you try and back up and they were the big plow so nothing could pull them out.
So a couple of days of shoveling to get it unstuck and moving.
Fortunately I never had it happen to me, I have had old timers years ago telling me about it,
and I did see a big Oshkosh with a big V get stuck that way it took them a time to get it out, two days as I recall, shoveling and towing with another
big Oshkosh or Walter Snow Fighter don't recall which.

This one has the advantage of tracks. It appears to be built on an old dozer. But if it does get stuck, it would be better just to wait until the snow melts before trying to pull it out.
