Like a hot knife through butter ...

Earlier this week we had our first measurable snow just south of Cleveland.  I was out of town for two days, so wasn’t able to get to it until it had turned into three inches of slush.  The new plow and my SK-486 pushed through it like a hot knife through butter.  This is the first time I’ve ever pushed snow (always used a walk-behind blower in the past).  This is fun and easy!   I see a lot of seat time ahead of me this winter.  Thanks to everyone whose advice helped me construct the plow.

Wet sloppy snow is best plowed, blowing usually does not go well.

 

Good looking snow rig...

YeeeHawwww When you have a Wheel Horse your imagination has NO end........I think come spring Ill build a front bucket and a grader either behind or possibly mid. For the wet sticky stuff up here where we fly the red&White Maple leaf I rev the wheel horse single stage to top rpm and just feed it the white stuff just enough so as not to clog the shoot. Dry snow even at 4 foot depth I only need 1/2 throttle but I force feeder and she sends it right back to the north pole. A wee trick also is keeping the shoot silky smooth. Next fall I hope to have already built a dual / 2 stage double shoot. I think that might just send the snow off to our auzzy brothers to help keep them cooler. Heheheheh
