It sat on my side driveway for 2 1/2 months because my screwups trying to make it work (I wont' go into it because of the ludicrousness). I finally got it working 12/30.

An aside, anyone that uses a blade on gravel...buy a 1 1/2" pvc pipe and cut a ~ 1/4" wide down the middle and slide it onto the blade. This keeps the sharp part of the blade from spreading your gravel into the grass. It floats, but leaves a tad on snow still on the gravel. It worked great!!

I hope that you didn't have to shovel a whole lot. That snow was heavy. People forget how strenuous shoveling snow is. It is one of the main causations of a myocardial infarction.

BTW, I also spent quite a bit of time maintaining my generator for the first time as well.
I am impressed you still have an 8N going. Not many of those around.

Yeah that was some heart attack snow. Every year the first big snow I spit and cuss why I didn't buy that snow thrower on clearance last spring. I suspect it will be the same this spring. I just can't pull the trigger.

In NE KS you can find quite a few. I almost bought another as a parts tractor. The story I understand is that near the end of their production, someone bought all the patents for the parts. Thus they didn't fall to the wayside. They are pretty easy to work on...of course. I converted mine from 6 volt to 12 a number of years ago.

I have 10 acres and it comes in handy in a myriad of ways.

When do you buy a snow shovel? In June.

When do you buy a grill? November.

You had it right, just pull the trigger

I didn't enjoy shoveling it, but it was heavy and wet enough I was able to build a half-ass cave with my son. He was interested in it for all of a minute before he said it was too cold and he wanted to go in and get hot chocolate.

Can't blame him

The kids have been playing outside non-stop, and taking a break by being pulled around on a sled with me driving the razor.

I made some 10' tall "mountains" of snow with the skid steer. I'm shocked one of the boys hasn't taken a header off of them.

Swiss Miss cocoa stock has skyrocketed due to our house consumption.

These are good times. Loving it.

Snowpocalypse round 2 is underway, and this one seems to be legit. Damn near blizzard conditions and about 3" on the roads already, and it's just getting started. Supposed to snow like hell well into tomorrow. They're forecasting around a foot or more, then off to the deep freeze when it's over. Yuck.

The best part of switching away from DTV to firestick/wireless internet is never again having to climb a ladder and clean snow off that goddamn dish. Because I'd be doing it several times on a day like this.
