Snow Chucker Seat Time

[Ed Kennell 35,724]

I planned to use the 417H to roll the lawn today.        Thought it would be the perfect day after four warm days and over an inch of rain yesterday the frost heaves should flatten right out.

 

Problem was it was 35F with 15MPH winds and spitting freezing rain and sleet.

 

Oh yeah, there sits that 520H snow chucker that hasn't been used for three years.

 

What could be better than sitting in a dry heated cab for a couple hours on a day like this.  And it has the 2 link Vee Bar chains, loaded tires, and plenty of  weight, so there was no wheel spin.

 

I am convinced it is time to replace this blower with a snow plow and make her my all purpose nasty weather machine.

Woke up to snow  wound up with about 4 inches of heavy wet stuff.  Of course last week I tore down my principal plow horse .  Had to usethe back up she has 42 inch plow (only 3 angles no skids and rubber chains also no weight on the hitch nor roller chain on the front wheels.(Her normal job is plowing the part of the drive with pavers.  She got the job done but had some problems pushing the bigger piles.

  It has melted some this afternoon

Really love to wake up and see the snowfall on the landscape before tracks and mud an sun. Then I start to think about the dogs tracking in half the mud for three countries into the house and that warm fuzzy feeling starts to fade away....An I start to make up a clean mop bucket ready for the fun.

Glad to see I am not the only one that rolls with a cab on. I get out there when we have a nice gentle spring rain and roll. Works wonders on that wet ground.
