My first winter with my first Wheel Horse, and I'm looking forward to it. Just got a snow thrower hooked up, weights and chains put on her, and she's ready to rock ...



We've had a little snow on the ground, but nothing sticking on the driveway yet. Come on lake effect.

-BK

yah.... you are hooked... looks great. your neighbors will love your new toy..

Looks like that hook up should get the job done!

Any snow down ther yet Duke??

Oh God! We had 6-8" down here. We missed two other predictions that would have brought us another 3-5". There is another lake effect snow coming thrusday and friday.

The ground is still kinda warm......so the snow is settling down.....
Lots colder than predicted....

And me with a leaf vac still attached...

SWEET look'n ride! There are not to many of us that have to deal with "Lake Effect" snows. What part of the country are you in? Im here in Akron Ohio about 30 min south of Cleveland. I was telling my brother I would like to get a snow blower set up for mine. He couldn't understand why since I have a truck with a snow blade. I told him I missed "playing" in the snow rather than just pushing it. You rig looks good my friend! Go get em!

Lookin good ! This winter will be my first with a tall chute single stage like yours.
Mike.......

I'm just north of Grand Rapids, MI., and about a 45 minute drive from Lake Michigan. The lake shore got hit with 8 inches yesterday, but it didn't make it very far inland.

The past three years I've had a plow service do our driveway, and always would complain on how they never got to us early enough, or didn't come often enough, etc. This year I'll be taking care of business (and my neighbors will laugh at me from inside their warm homes too)

I got a plow this year and it works great so far, but I always could use more attachments - like a blower. Does it leave any snow behind? Does it take all the snow off the pavement?

Catch a few neighbor's driveways before the plow "service' can get there at a reasonable fee and you could pay for the blower!

Then you could laugh all the way to the bank.

Excellent idea Linen !

That is one nice looking setup. If you blow the neighbors drives watch out for Christmas light cords.

Some of you that know me....know I have spoken about our neighbors.
They're weird!!!

I have often offered to plow out the one neighbor's drive for free!
I have been told by the woman that lives there (in a nasty tone of
voice). We don't need your help, we can take care of ourselves!

Apparently this also happened to another neighbor of mine who
offered to clean her drive also.

We got our fur ruffled at her remarks... So come winter we each
take a turn and clean her drive when she is gone just for spite!!

Sounds like first hand experience...

Mike,
I can't say this is the case with that woman, but some people get their pride hurt when you mention help to them, especially the older generation(s). I have thought of this before. There's an elderly couple about 4 miles from my house whose place I pass everyday to and from my van pool. In the summer, their grass gets tall and shaggy looking. I've seen the husband, a man who looks to be in his 70's, out there with a push mower mowing it on occasion. I've thought of stopping and asking if I could mow it for him for free with one of my tractors. But I have been afraid that he would be offended - a lot of people, especially the elderly, have pride and that sort of thing would offend them. I thought of approaching it from another angle, i.e. that it would benefit me somehow.

I'm not saying this is the case with your neighbor, but something to consider.
