Ed Kennell 35,485 #1 Posted March 15, 2017 Man could I have used Mad max today. I drove to Red Lion to clear my MILs property in town. She is coming home from Tampa, Fl. tomorrow.....go figger. I had about 150 feet of sidewalk packed with frozen snow 3-4' deep pushed in there by Penndot plows. Took about 3 hours with a ice chipper, a shovel and a Yard Man Bee Hind blower. Next time I will take Mad Max the ice crusher. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPINJIM 1,978 #2 Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) Hey Ed. I know what you mean about the packed snow. I had 9 inches of packed sleet over here with a little freezing rain to hold it together. I really wanted to try my new tall chute snow thrower on my 418A, but the packed sleet kept jamming the chute. Maybe next year when the snow is fluffier. I ended up getting out my old Craftsman 30" walk behind snowblower. It was slow going, but it got it done because it is a 2-stage, and cleared the icy mess out of the chute faster. I'm glad I didn't get rid of it when I got the WH blower. Then I cleaned up with the WH plow on my old 1076. Right tool for the right job. But I'd prefer 18" of light snow over 9" of packed sleet any day. Jim Edited March 15, 2017 by SPINJIM picture 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 35,485 #3 Posted March 15, 2017 I hear ya Jim, I also found the blade worked better yesterday on the wet heavy stuff. The new snow we got today and the drifting snow from last night was much drier and colder. The blower work well to clean this up today at my place. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
