squonk 38,952 #1 Posted February 24, 2013 Any body ever get a WH blower throwing snow over power lines? I had a neighbor when I was a kid with an old gravely "dog eater blower and he used to throw snow over the power lines and across a main highway.I finally found a video of a Gravely tossing the snow high enough. Those old gravely blowers were impressive. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 19,570 #2 Posted February 24, 2013 Its definitly tossing it far but whats with only moving forward a couple feet at a time? I would think in a low gear it should be able to crawl along at a more steady pace. Mike............ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 38,952 #3 Posted February 24, 2013 A lot of those Gravely's were single speed. I had one for a short time with a snow blade. You had to run behind it to keep up My neighbor had a 2 speed. That thing would just crawl along and throw snow to the moon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KC9KAS 4,741 #4 Posted February 24, 2013 I was thinking that it was doing a good job of throwing snow, but needed a slower ground speed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Delivery of the CAT damaged a little (relocated) modified stone. I'll live with it. As soon as weather gets spring like, I have a lot to do. Herd needs exercise and the CAT needs a lot. My Grandsons have a lot of work to do! Should I wear wing tips and a tie while supervising? :smile: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
