More Fun Moving Snow with the 523 Dxi

[shallowwatersailor 3,216]

The forecast was for 3"-5" of snow but changing to rain tonight. I wasn't sure what would still be remaining in the morning, so I thought that I would at least do my driveway. I was surprised when I went out as it was at 10" - and still coming down when I cleared this! Unfortunately the snowthrower makes more noise than the sweet sound of the diesel. I'm still only running a partial throttle until I get a tach installed, but I did bump it up about halfway through the second video. Tomorrow I'm going to try 1/2 throttle.

That's more like it.  Now crank that puppy up to full throttle!

The rain didn't come through last night so the snow stayed pretty much intact. Turns out we were in one of the heavier bands of snow. The ice underneath started to cause problems with clogging. I didn't have problems with the two neighbors driveway that I did today (the third is in Florida - too bad) but when I went over mine that I cleared last night, a lot was turning to slush. The county truck has yet to come so I couldn't get down to the other two neighbors. I will probably need to plow them as we are going in to the low 40's today.

 

Here is today's crew ready to get to work. I use the Ariens for my walk, and I will be getting a load of fuel this week so I will cut a path to my tank fill.

And Paladin working.
