Wyattrrp 59 #26 Posted February 8, 2013 Only callin for 18-24": with possible up to 36" so "No Ploblem Mahnn". Like bein' in the bahama's here in Central Mass! Global warming kickin in. New chain on the single stage, new drive belt, all fueled up 312-8 and chompin at the bit. Thinkin' might use the blower this storm, not just the 48 plow?? LOL. 20 Gals of petro on hand for the Horses, and Generator if needed. Today mid-day they were 4 deep at a 16 pump gas station patiently waiting turns while I watched most pull 6 gal containers out to fill. My load was $93 ouch! Worst is predicted from mid afternoon thru the night into Sat Am. May need to do a Midnight clearing to keep up. WooHoo! Monday 40 and rain but thinking it won't quite clear the yard for mowing for a while. Wyatt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheel-N-It 2,967 #27 Posted February 8, 2013 I won't be getting in on any of the snow removal action that you guys will. Gonna be 59degrees and Sunny, Friday afternoon. I know you will be having fun. Maybe we will get some kind of freak snow storm before Spring. If we do, I will be sure to post some snow removal pics of my own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Iggy68 28 #32 Posted February 8, 2013 62 and sunny today in SC. If ones of you guys could setup a live feed so we could watch the snow removal as we sit in the lawn chair soaking in the rays that would be great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimbo7921 8 #35 Posted February 8, 2013 Just sittin here getting ready to go out and clean up the foot of snow we got in southwest ontario. Wish i had a blower for that much but the blade will.make out just fine im sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JC 1965 1,528 #36 Posted February 8, 2013 Hope everyone and their family's that are in the path of this blizzard will be safe. This is a serious storm. I know you guys that live in the north east are use to getting a lot of snow but this thing looks dangerous. Good luck !! :hide: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake217 20 #37 Posted February 8, 2013 Boy did I pick the wrong time to tear down the Onan in my 520H. That one usually runs the single stage blower with my own variation of the "Clarence Snow Blower Auger mod. Luckily I still have my great running 312A with the retro-fitted Eaton 1100. Just took the dozer blade off of that one and mounted the single stage blower to that. I don't think I'd want to push this amount of snow anyway. We're in the 30+" inches projected snow area - local weather gals and guys are say most likely more well more than 30" inches in my area. I've also got the C-165 with the loader if things get really bad! Snowing here now. This is gonna be a blast! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mattd860 161 #39 Posted February 9, 2013 How's everyone doing? So far he have 12+ inches and its coming down harder than ever. We still have power but it blinks off and on once in awhile. It's also thundering and lightning which is odd for a snow storm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
6wheeler 586 #40 Posted February 9, 2013 Thunder Snow RULES Matt. It doesn't happen very often but, when it does I love it. Good luck to you guys out there. I know you may need it. We used to get snow. Way back in the old days. We are supposed to get a major snow event this weekend..... Or a major rain and Ice event. Or a no show, cuz them clowns down in Iowa keep hogging it all. But them Canadians don't mind sharing the COLD with us.........Be safe everyone..........

Tim 97 #50 Posted February 9, 2013 went out to snowthrow last niight about 4" on the ground. made a few passes and the C-141 auto started smoking and died. thought i would need another tractor for the snowthrower so got a 314-8 out of the shed. put in garage in case. pushed the 141 in behind it cleaned up the rest with the another 314. started looking over the 141 and found somehow the battery tie down rod slipped off the battery and got caught up in the drive belt and pulled into the engine pulley. got it out, straighted it, reassembled and went and blew another 8-9 inches before bed. like coadster said above, can't even tell anything was done Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
