No more fooling around!

I got tired of getting stuck and having the C-120 get through a month of accumulated snow. So I hooked up the blower to the 520H with wheel weights. Got done fast!!

Wisconsin in February and all you have is five or six inches, hard to believe.

[stevasaurus 23,281]

Richard, I was thinking the same thing, but what a bunch of great pictures!!  I think 6" of snow is the perfect snow. 

It's the Goldylocks Snow.  Not too much and not too little..........just right. 

[JERSEYHAWG / Glenn 4,499]

IMHO. the snowblower is the best way to go.

[Pollack Pete 2,273]

Real nice 520 you've got there.Should tear right through any amount of snow.Only got to use my 520-H with 2 stage once this year so far.Not really complaining though.We had about 4 in. of slush.I blew more dirt and rocks than snow.

6" snow? We just cleaned up 31" of the white cold wet nasty junque! Just south of Allentown, PA.

 

All gravel, stone and millings driveways, I sold my Horse blower. Duh!

Now thinking, "Skis like you have on your blower would have done the trick."

 

Retired, I watched the grandsons drivin' all day. Hey they and the Horses cleaned (pushed) the white stuff out of the way inch by inch. The boys want more.

 

Time for a skid steer! Or, a FEL. How's retirement in Key West? Ahhhhhh!

Thanks for all the great pictures! 520H are my favorites, must be why I have 2...... I have a blower on 1 and a blade and cab on the other and a gravel drive and parking lot for my wifes pet grooming business with a large cement pad in front of the house. I blade everything except for the huge snow drifts I get on the cement pad and the the blower takes care of them. Now I need to find another cab, I'm spoiled now and don't like to get cold and wet.......

I hear you about the cabs. I didn't think I needed one. Now I can't live without it!

I like the skids on the blower also. I have a cab for the first time after decades of using a Wheelhorse with a blower and we haven't had more than an inch or two of snow in one storm yet. (I said yet)!

Had I known all I needed to do was buy a cab and mount it to stop major snowstorms here, I would have done it in the 80's. I'm not enthralled about snow like I used to be. Not after last winter!

[DennisThornton 4,771]

I didn't notice those skids at first!  Not sure why!  They are nice.  Any issues?  I have a LONG gravel drive!

I've got what I need except the time and when that comes I'm going to have a full cab/snow blade and a full cab/blower machine and with the cabs staying on year round so I will have to have another dozer blade machine for the other seasons.  I find taking off and storing the cabs a PITA!

You would get done even faster with the side extension plates on the blower.

 

 

My daughter was playing with the old Lionel train nestled in with the Wheel Horses.

If I remember right I think the longer skids hit the extensions or wings. They work great on a gravel driveway. I welded flat steel on a pair of worn out shoes. Next time I will cut the bottom of the shoe off or just make a plate. I'm not able to put the blower as low as I would like to. It's close but another 1/4" lower would have been nice.
