Yes, but is winter done with you? Jon

Sadly, no. It'll be 50 and raining on Thursday with more snow also predicted in the near future. Now we have flood warnings starting.

0 of plowable snow this season in central Ohio. Kinda feel left out now lol. Last year we had 0 worth plowing all year. Guess Iå€¤l just keep looking at pics here lol.

With talk like that you know we're going to get dumped on in April now don't you?

I'll remember you are the one that caused it then too.....

I guess you left DC and are up here with some of us crazies. I uprooted from Long Island 4 years ago.

Sadly not yet. Need to get a heating system installed first, hopefully next summer.

The snowsport system automatically floats so your loader weight stays where it should, on the front tires. :thumbsup:

I have that same blade in the barn I bought used many years ago, don’t have the mount for it, just the blade. I was thinking of mounting it on my bucket of pallet fork base.

Thanks buddy, that’s a heck of a line up you have there to battle the snow. Currently I only have a 6ft rear blade and bucket on a open station tractor. Wished I had a power angle front blade. Maybe one day lol

Neighbors would think it’s overkill up until another blizzard hit us. The last major one was 1976 which dumped around 2ft of snow. It killed 50 people.

When I was a kid we got an ice storm which knocked power out for more than 7 days, only once in my lifetime (30 years) can I remember getting more than 12” in one snowfall, that took a few days to clear up.

Ohio really doesn’t get much snow, we get a lot of rain and most damaging to trees and power lines is the ice.

We've had such little snow so far I had to put the battery maintainer on it!

Drool.... I love that HLA pusher! I continue to be on the fence whether to get one.
The backdrag appears to be rubber edged. Is the main cutting edge rubber also?

Backdrag is UHMW poly and the cutting edge is rubber. I would prefer to switch them but didn’t want to take the time this year.

I am working with dealer and distributor on an inquiry. Since we haven’t had snow yet I can’t comment on operation. Thing is built well and weighs around 600#. PM me if you’d like to know more.

With no snow now would seem like a good time to switch. No time is when you have 8" of snow to plow.

I'd bet that if you unbolted both edges and let them sit......
This should "draw in" a major storm :laughing: Mother nature loves to catch us with our pants down.
