My C-105 with a blade has earned its keep this week, while the 416-8 with a tall chute has played dead with an electrical problem.

Backups for your backups is a pretty good idea,  even Nasa understands that. ;)

1974 Wheel Horse D180 - nicknamed Big Ugly ( seriously - look at it :)

2010 AKC all-German black and red, semi-wavy long coat German Shepherd - Toby (Drew Von Selten Ruhe) , sorry about his coat - needs to go see the hair dresser, we all have bad hair days....lol. His job is to guard the tractor when I'm not on it ...someone was walking past out on the street - they get the "stare".

Loading a video (finally) of the thing doing some minor work - only got 4" last night but the stuff is fairly wet despite the temperatures. 20*F for a high today - was nice for a change.

Great pics and video Sarge!  That is one beautiful dog and a beast of a tractor.  You look like you are having WAAAAAAY too much fun!  Thanks for sharing.  My kids and wife love the dog and Caleb likes Big Ugly especially with the dual stacks....

Thanks - stacks sound better in person - nice bark to it when the governor kicks on the 482 Kohler..lol. Shepherd is 7yrs old now, gotten fat over the winter and needs the run time too, works out well but I have to keep an eye on him, he's fearless of machinery.

Spending my second winter in FL while my machines are wintering in the shed and garage up north.  I don't miss the snow, but it is fun looking at the pix everyone has posted.  My neighbor is clearing the drive with his JD 318.  I left the 5xi set up and ready to go just in case he has a mechanical problem with his JD.  He took the 5xi out during one of the heavy December snows and his feedback was "that is a nice machine" (with a tinge of jealousy).

 

I am mentally prepared to begin selling the fleet in the spring as it looks like FL will be our permanent home.  It will be a sad day when that happens.

 

To all of you dealing with the snow, be safe and spring is only 5 weeks away!

Here’s my 417A with Kohler M18 engine and short chute blower.  Tractor was rescued from a farm field, and the engine was rescued from a thrashed, but low hour, Snapper GX.

Stuck ''73 Auto , or just playing with the snow ramps ? I've been able to push some well over 5' high, but that's severely starving a splash lube Kohler, lol...

 

Love the 417 w/blower - nice looking unit . I'd bet that Mag18 gets the job done easily.

We haven’t had much snowfall since I got it all put together, but I have tested it on the snowbanks piled up from previous plowings, and it goes through them like they aren’t even there!

We had a quick 6" dumped on us over night. Wet stuff so I added the cast iron on the back. Sun was out early and it cleaned up nice
