We got a pittance of snow last night, about 3" of actual snowfall. But it drifted into the driveway up to about 6". Used the 3 pt snowblower to clear the drive, mostly just to test my adjustments and see how the new Edge Tamers worked.
Was mostly "ok", but I think I'm going to take the rear shoes completely off the blower and just let it ride on the 3 Edge Tamers on the cutting edge. Ground is still soft and the rear shoes were digging in if I just dropped the blower all the way to sit on the shoes. Extended the top link to get more pressure on the front edge, but still digs in on the rear shoes. Works fine if I pick up the 3 pt just barely enough to get the shoes off the ground.
Didn't bring out my phone this morning, so no pictures. But I did take a couple the other day of the Edge Tamers on the cutting edge.
Also had the presence of mind to put the pallet of sandbags in the bed of my truck before the storm. Sure do like having pallet forks, no manual labor required.
