cschannuth 3,795 #1 Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) The weatherman was wrong again and we got 7” of the wet stuff overnight. They said about 1-3” so I didn’t even put the 54” blade on the C-161. I assumed the 606 Rat would struggle but it did great even with the blade angled. I started off in the back pushing straight ahead since I assumed it wouldn’t stay straight with the blade angled. The hill worried me but it went right up. My son snapped a video and some pics. I had a blast. Sorry for all the pics. 6E8D0B79-7EE2-4BCA-B322-AC3EE5710237.MOV 071927F9-C1B8-4331-8288-5EAD280F3332.mov Edited November 15, 2018 by cschannuth Spelling 5 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ol550 829 #2 Posted November 15, 2018 Well that explains all the school closings this morning. Guess it's about time to get a blade on horse. 5 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rjg854 10,737 #4 Posted November 16, 2018 Looks like a great time, we've got 8-12 coming over night. So I'll get my 1st chance of the season. Really looking forward to it too. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daddy Don 889 #5 Posted November 16, 2018 Lot easier to put out Christmas Décor while it is warm instead of freezing to death. Started putting mine out today. We only get very little snow just about one inch this month. So here comes Christmas. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rjg854 10,737 #8 Posted November 16, 2018 aah come on Mike you know you love it. Just got done snow blowing, and the tall shoot and the 16 Auto worked great. There was an easy foot of snow and it blew nicely, need to drop the blower another inch. Was worried about the gravel driveway but it was fine. I think that was why I was having some steering trouble, may have to put roller chains on the front tires if it continues. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 38,925 #9 Posted November 16, 2018 I'm on a 2 hr. delay so I won't have to wake the neighborhood up until at least 6 I used to like plowing but my arthritis and blood thinners stopped that crazy notion 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ClassicTractorProfessor 5,261 #11 Posted November 18, 2018 You guys are making me jealous with all your snow pictures lol...we got a couple inches last Sunday, but not enough to even mess with getting a tractor out, was enough that I had to take the wrecker out on a few winch outs for people sliding off in the ditch, i swear Oklahoma drivers forget every year how to drive 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oneroadkingman 53 #12 Posted November 18, 2018 I only have 3rd here and waited till afternoon and half of the snow was already melted! Didn't even fire up the 520 with plow maybe next time! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,345 #13 Posted November 18, 2018 Craig, We got about 3 inches in my part of Missouri from that snow event. Funny thing, it was snowing and melting at the same time later in the day (around 11 am). I didn't even bother getting the '47 Cub out, just wasn't enough snow and plus it melted real quick. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,680 #14 Posted November 18, 2018 We had a dusting of the white stuff but as soon as the sun came up it was gone. I haven't even finished gathering up the leaves and putting them in the compost yet, sure don't need snow. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't finished fall clean up. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rjg854 10,737 #18 Posted November 18, 2018 I've got one tree that the leaves usually won't come off until it snows, this year all those big winds we had cleaned it out. the willows and the oaks are holding tight yet. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That’s one of the reasons why the little tractor did pretty well. It was just wet pavement underneath because it was just a little above freezing by the time I got around to plowing it. Today the only thing left are the piles along side the concrete. Everything else, even the shaded areas, already melted. But I couldn’t pass up a chance to plow. I think that 7 inches we got this week is more than we had all last winter combined. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
