pfrederi 17,027 #26 Posted September 8, 2018 You have to look carefully but you can see the snow plume against the pine trees. The Charger 12 cleared all the way from the foreground down to the barn and up to the trailer in the distance. 3 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for me, I would rather look at the snow removal pictures than have to actually remove snow. @T-Mo @RandyLittrell I really enjoy the snow. It’s like a holiday for me! The cold does make me ache and hurt but, I ache and hurt all the time it seems. At least I’m not sweating in the snow! Lol If I lived somewhere that snow was truly a burden I guess I’d feel different about it. For now I’m getting to view all these cool machines being put to work. Great stuff!!

Seems like we get a hard winter every 7 years with lots of snow. Then it tapers off to almost nothing the years following. This is the year we should get another rough one!! I’m ready too buddy! Growing up my Dad had a mowing and snow removal business. He was a fireman for 36 years and every day he was off we mowed or moved snow depending on the season. He’s retired and with my career and neck issues we let go of the business. When I was young I wanted a little tractor with a blade but it was all about making the $$ for Dad. Now that I’ve only got to worry with my driveway now I can have fun with it and not spend16 hours in a big plow truck! I can’t wait for snow now!!! I grew up in the mid west when we had feet of snow. My cousin pushed for the county. If you left your car stranded the snow drifted over it and snow trucks would hit it not seeing it. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge 3,462 #29 Posted September 8, 2018 Age, arthritis, and a lot of injuries have caught up with me - it's taken the fun out of being out in the snow, but I still get out there when necessary. Me, Big Ugly the D-180 and Toby - my loyal black n red German Shepherd.... Sarge 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tankman 3,514 #33 Posted September 8, 2018 Never used our blower but, if needed, ready to go. The Harley boots, spit shined toe and heel too of course. Our Pennsylvania Panzer has a blade but, didn't ever use it. Poor AC only has a mid-mount grader. Sorry but, he does keep the gravel drives nice. The Stallions do all the wo...wo....WORK! Those Horses love playin' in the white wet cold nasty junque. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RandyLittrell 3,797 #34 Posted September 8, 2018 I guess I might like it if we actually got snow! Anymore we just get a little snow with a bunch of ice or just bitter cold. I remember playing in some deep snow as a kid, not sure what happened. Randy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daron1965 644 #35 Posted September 8, 2018 I actually like the snow, but hate the bitter cold temperatures. The old farmers almanac is calling for Western PA to have average temps, but above average snowfall. The last few years have been cold, but not much snow. Only time will tell. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree 💯% We had more small snowfalls more regularly it seemed when I was a kid. Now we seem to get crazy winters every seven years or so. We got a 27” a 16” and three more over a foot in 2011 and almost no measurable accumulation last year. This year hopefully will have some snow to play in! Hopefully no ice or brutal cold. That’s only good for frozen pipes, busted vehicles and broken bones! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Machineguy 876 #42 Posted September 9, 2018 This is great guys!! Thanks so much for sharing! These aren’t just “riding mowers” they’re power equipment designed for much heavier and diverse applications than the new stamped steel crap. That’s one of the things I truly appreciate and enjoy about these Red Machines and other solid American made GT’s of a bye gone era. I appreciate all of you guys that share the same opinion. 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gas tank is in! Panzer is painted. Grandsons like the left 'n right brake pedals, they spin "donuts". My grandson and I stopped to chat about a Horse somebody was mowing grass with. He said, "Love my Wheel Horse. Might you be interested in a Pennsylvania?" I didn't have a clue (?). A Pennsylvania (huh?)? He took us to his crowded shed, said, "My grandfather passed away and I got the "Pennsylvania." An hour later the Panzer was in my pickup with its' mower deck, snow plow, original sales receipt, original owners manual. Runs fine. A great stop that day even though it cost me a hundred bucks! We only drive the cast iron grill, the Chrysler rear, use the drum brakes, just because. The Panzer is semi-retired which makes our Horses jealous. Get to work Stallions! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
