We picked up a quick 6 inches of snow on the Rt 495 belt of Massachusetts. It was classic wet heavy snow ball snow. The foot that fell at the begining of January is still underneath this new stuff making nice packed snow to ramp the front tires up for higher piles. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif SteveV /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I've been clearing snow for the last two days but have not had to go outside yet. It's been raining.

I'm pretty sure you're taking a swipe at your weather forecasters. I took a look at the Environment Canada site this morning to see what the storm was going to do when it left here, and they seemed to think rain. It seemed a little weird to me though since you have more colder air available closer than we have, and we got snow. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif SteveV

I was kind of thinking the opposite; your tires look like they're set wider than mine but the end of the axle is flush with the hub on mine so they can't go any further. Back when I use to live in Rochester NY, I can remember shoveling /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif 4 inches off the driveway every morning for three weeks. In other words, your tractor has more experience! Shoveling is also a thing of the past! SteveV

I added a light duty extension for use with snow/mulch. More than doubles my bucket capacity. Also added a set of skids to keep the bucket 3/4 inch off the gravel. Works great and four bolts and it's off.

Ya know.......there's always one in a bunch that has to show off......make the rest of us feel kinda........but..real nice job on the bucket extension! What did you use for material thickness? If you had to do it again would you make it bigger, smaller or keep it the same? We have to know! SteveV /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

We got maybe 4" yesterday in southern New Hampshire followed by rain on top of it. This was the heaviest snow I think I have ever handled with the BX2200 in terms of weight per bucket load. We have a 400' driveway, a trafic circle in front of the house, and a 3 car garage with enough room in front of it to park maybe 10 cars. A lot of blacktop.

This is the first time all season I have felt chilled to the bone when I finished and it was barely 32 degrees, not zero like it was a week ago. But it was a WET 32 degrees. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

I had to take a shot of Grand Marnier as soon as I got in the house /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif because of the raw weather. Nasty weather, this is what I call arthritis weather .
