Snow Snow Removal Equipment

[JoelD]

Here's the fleet, one that pushes a lot, one that lifts a lot and one that throws a lot.

I was able to clear my enormous 250 foot driveway of an incredibly deep 12 inches of snow, in a blistering time of less than 3 hours, at the paultry cost of (including depreciation, fuel and maintenance) well ... higher than I can count with my shoes on and I only smashed into a couple of things.

Uhhmmm, works for me.



By they way, I've had those two portable sheds for over three years now and they are still up, snow and all (I clean off after each big snow), can't think of a better $199 spent, keeps the elements off of the machines.

Hey, no snow here in DC!

 

[wallace]

I just got done putting together the ultimate snow removal machine.
Sorry no pictures yet.
I will get some this week.
I will tell you the platform is based off of a DK40SE cab.

Looking forward to the pictures.

Tough to imagine it can possibly perform more effectively or efficiently than my three pronged approach, but we'll see.

I had 2 of those portable sheds. Now I have 1. The 20" of heavy wet snow we got just before Christmas collapsed one right on top of one of my classic cars. I had been cleaning off the snow after each fall but when you get it all at once its hard to keep up. The 2" diameter poles did some minor damage to the car roof that I now have to get fixed. It won't happen again next year since I'm going to do everything possible to build another larger garage.

Looks like your set up to take on some snow.
We got around 12"+ snowfall in my area yesterday also.

Anxious to see the photos.

Sorry George,

I'm sure not to store anything that can get damaged if they do give up the ghost.

My tractor's roof actually touches the top of the shed, therefore, no distance to cave.

I have an old boat in the other, not a lot that could be done to the boat, will sell in the spring.

This shed works great for the Kioti, I figure if I can get 5 years or so out of them I'm ahead of the game.

Would love a barn, but just too much money.

No kiddin ! No so much the barn...... but when they zing you on the taxes on it...

How about the 58 vehile pile-up down your way? You're too close to that border.

 

[kenstrac]

Does it look like this

 

[Lloyd_E]

Or this....

 

[kenstrac]

I know it dosn't look like this!

This is what I use for snow removal

That's enough to make me move further south and we haven't even had any snow here yet this year! Plowing snow is actually fun. But prepping for winter (chains, etc.) is not my idea of fun. I do love that plow setup there Vince.

I could hear the sirens going off, I live not 3 miles from where that happened, the back of my property runs up to within a 100yds or so of the highway.

Something like 35 plus cars when it was all over and done with.

The exit is just north of me, not by much.

No one seriously hurt though, that was good news.

Vince, What do you have for a front blade? How does it attach? Do you remove bucket to attach blade? Can you adjust blade angle? Looks interesting.

Its a home made blade.
I made it a few years ago out of an old King Kutter 7' rear 3 point blade and some other metal I had laying around.
It can flip down if I hit something solid and added a couple truck snowplow trip springs.
I remove the bucket to attach the blade, it mounts to my skid steer style QA.
It does angle, to angle it I need to pull a couple pins, angle it and reinsert the pins (It would be nice to make it power angle some day if I ever get around to it).
