stevasaurus 22,230 #1 Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) They are saying it is a record snow in Chicago land...the 702 did great...bring it on. Some channels are saying it is the 5th biggest snow on record. This video was taken at the 1/2 way point of the storm.

608KEB 794 #4 Posted February 2, 2015 Looks like your 702 plows good without the tire chains. I have a B-80, I tried to plow without chains and was spinning out to much. Is it your narrow tires? I'm plowing on concrete. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 10,281 #5 Posted February 2, 2015 I don't mind saying that I really miss playing in the snow. Three more years and just maybe it's "Back Home Again in Indiana"! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,230 #6 Posted February 2, 2015 Yes, the narrow tires on the 702 are like snow tires...vs turf tires on my 857. The snow you see here was about half way through the storm. I cleared out again as much today. The storm was a 2 seat timer. The wife came out with the camera and a pair of socks for me..Dave...I did put the socks on today when I cleaned out the rest. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KC9KAS 4,741 #13 Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) That 702 was a snow moving machine in the video. The hydraulic lift is the "cats meow"! Thanks, and keep it up north!! Edited February 3, 2015 by KC9KAS 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bach-Ed 164 #17 Posted February 3, 2015 Great to see! It always amazes me to watch my neighbors with 18 to 20 horsepower lawn mowers that can't plow snow. And my 8 HP Wheel Horse pushing the snow all over the place. But I am jealous of the Hyd. system. My left arm gets a work out when I plow. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
