Aaaaaahhhh, 

still no snow here, just several Storm damages.

Pavillion lost it‘s roof and the Plane on the Horse is away.... 

🤪

 

Steve, how much snow do you normally get per winter?

 

 

[Tractorhead 8,610]

Normally hum about 0,5 - 2meter, it depends on. That was my reason, i built the Beast‘s FEL.

see my last year Winter pics, there we had the complete February Wet heavy Snow in mass.

Each day was a lot of Fun to deal with.

That was my reason, to rework my Plowshield with a hydraulic sweep.

I hoped for the same mass this year but nothing.

 

Typically it begin with a bit in Nov. so about 10- 30 cm several day‘s ( weeks) then again massive on February.

But this year at all just about 5cm, what melts the next day.

not really worth to start an Engine, but i did once a short test of my Hydraulic Plowshield with 5 cm...

 

 

once it is dang cold next few day‘s it warm and begins to Rain.

i wish the half of rain was snow, that will be a mass.

 

but so my horse and my Beast has just their Wintersleep except once a month, i fire up to recharge the Batteries.

It‘s a bit frustrating, now i have great toy‘s, but nothing to play with.. 😎

 

Yesterday we had a bit Storm, windspeed was 110Km/h, what rips the strings from the plane of the Pavillion,

then for about 5 min. On -2 deg. Snow, so i hoped it starts now but another 10 minutes later temp jumps up to +5 deg

and all is done and it‘s raining again.

 

That ain‘t fair..

Understood.

 

This winter we have a monster snow blower, also, a nice new walk-behind high-powered smaller snowblower.

two different tractors with plows, two people that love to play outside. And hardly any snow yet.

 

Seems as though this week it has finally found us though.

 

 

[Tractorhead 8,610]

I don‘t stop in hope for some Snow.. 😂😂😂😂

 

i wanna Play !.

 

in upper post, i grabbed quick a readout of my Weather station.

The next stormy winds start allready. Curious how fast they get this night.

 

next day‘s i have to move few branches, they riped one tree seems not to withstand the next storm periode,

but we will see, for now it‘s too dark and to dangerous to get outside.

Stefan, we just had some wet heavy snow come through the Midwest US.  It’ll probably hit @ebinmaine next, then skip right across the pond to Southern Germany!

 

         I know, I’m about as accurate as a weather lady but no where near as cute...

Loading up truck and trailer today for my trip to Florida Flywheelers via Georgia and Alabama!  Going to be dropping off some deliveries to fellow Red Square members on the way to Florida where I will see some more Red Square members at Florida Flywheelers!

That first pict remembers me on a movie, i seen few years ago.

This movie was based on a true Story.

👍

 

i don‘t remember the title of the movie and i forgot several parts of the real Background,

but i was impressed on.

 

If i remember right, a Men, who‘s doesn‘t have a driver License want to see his Brother the last time before he‘s passing.

Because of no Car and no License, he drives the whole track with his garden Tractor.

I don‘t know the Original Title, but that movie has still a big place in my Heart.

 

Maybe anybody can tell me the Title in original.

The title is "The Straight Story"

[peter lena 8,064]

i know how to make it snow, just take off my snow blower !  i would still leave on my  two 42 " blades on my other two. so far this is the winter that isn,t , what we had was easily cleaned up . regular rain often, temps in the 40,s ,windy. i think with the ground warmth it will make any snow fall short lived, even the moles and the rabbits are out. on the other hand my son in northern vt , just had 15" + . kinda weird , waiting to get   kicked , maybe in April , we did get 27 " in April years ago , buried the stop signs, pete

Thanks,

 

 

[Pullstart 59,687]

Sounds like a good watch!  

 

I bet it would have been less dramatic with a Wheel Horse...  

[Tractorhead 8,610]

Think it was worth a try...

 

Do such a Trip with a Wheel Horse..

😎❤️

 

less dramatic but also probably a lot of „hello“ on this Trip..

Allen, you might want to reference what post you saw the tires, or better yet quote the post.

Picked this D180 up January 12 and this is how she sits today little more to do

[Tractorhead 8,610]

Looks good.

does it have the hydraulic from beginning, or did you retrofit?

 

[Pullstart 59,687]

Looks good!  The front plow looks custom / adapted?

[WHX?? 46,750]

Dan and I set a round hood on fire today... well mostly Dan ... I was pretty much there for air compressor wrenching! 

Too bad you guys don't get to see the finished goods 'till the unveiling! 

[Ed Kennell 35,767]

[Achto 26,548]

Nice Flames!                                 Will you be finishing it off with some candy apple red?

[Mikey the Monkey 697]

@Achto you have more talent in your pinky than I have in my whole body. Can't wait to see this beauty in June

 

@WHX24...kudos to you too. I'm sure Dan couldn't have done it without you and a fine tuned air compressor wrench ear. Will you be wearing a matching costume to the tractor at the unveiling of silver bullet?

[squonk 38,916]

I don't call holding the plug into the worn out wall outlet so the compressor will stay running wrenching!
