You have that much snow?
I got a little dust coming down in Northern Ontario right now but it keeps warming up and melting of late....
Odd year so far snowed 3 times melted twice more rain than anything else.
But its crisp and dry today, and cold!
Might start to geta decent base for some today but unless I get some wheels for my sled its not going to be happening today lol

From my understanding SNOW stands for
Super Nasty Obnoxious Work
no machines, clothes,drinks or anything makes it tolerable to me. But it is what makes the mountains look majestic and I can view them from afar. LOL Steve
Tuesday my Son leaves for Belize and the Ambergris Caye and tropical diving seeing the Maya ruins. I get to watch the pups.

we also had are first snowfall of the year:thumbsup:
my old k-5 with a 8 1/2ft blade works real good
work on the neighbors john deere model 325 unit today and replace the belt that runs the transmission/pump unit and help installed his snow thrower unit on. WOW does that thing throw the snow. i just laugh when a look at my big 54 inch/25hp MTD WHITE riding lawnmower:laugh: it does the job. nothing runs like a deere.

I'm glad I have just a short 128' long driveway or I'd need a real machine to move the white fluffy stuff.
Our other driveway was so short you could barely park a truck on it and was easy to shovel clear but this driveway isnt going to be hand shoveled by me.
These old tractors weigh in at around 700lbs and I got a set of 55lb. wheel weights for the snow blower tractor which should help it since that blower weighs alot.I'll use the plow tractor when there is just a light couple inch dusting.
I just looked out side and nothing still although we have had flurries for the last several days just nothing significant.
I expect a good snow before christmas, I'd like to see 12" or more.
It would be even better if it was over my 12 day christmas vacation so I wouldnt have to work out in it just clear the driveway and relax.

Ohh I'm about in the middle of oakland county.
I only remember two really good snows last year and they were only 5"-8" inches at best.There were some other snows but nothing that amounted to much.
Even so the plow tractor had a difficult time when I got a bunch of it pushed up and it had tires chains on it not real bad but I had to be careful not to get it stuck.
I'm really excited about having the snow blower since it should be able to clear the driveway faster and better.
I could only do so much with the blade before it really needed to be bucketed.
Our house is long and I have a stretch of driveway about 50' long with no place to put snow really.
Last year was good since we just moved in here we only got a taste of whats to come and I plan to be ready for it.

Depends on if its a wet or dry snow I'd think about 3"-4" max if its a wet heavy snow and about 8"-10" with a dry fluffy snow.
They will move snow but it may take more passes to get it clear.
I was having problems keeping the front end from sliding around as the windrows got bigger but that tractor has the smooth ribbed tires.
I dont know yet what will stop them in their tracks.
I expect the snowblower to be far better than the blade because it will lift and throw the snow so basically the tractor just has to drive around on the clear driveway.
I keep thinking about trying to get the other smaller 8" wheel weights I have and sticking them in the front rims to help keep the front tires planted.
