Lets see your snow movers

This is my new snowblower. It is on loan from my brother.

I built this about 10 years ago. It is a 2 cylinder Wisconsin sitting on a Massey garden tractor transaxle, running a 42" snow thrower. It would go through anything. However, it took a real man to run it. It really needed steering brakes on it. Sometimes it went wherever it wanted. I lost interest in it (and the neighbors grew board watching me with it) and sold it a few years ago.

Currently, I mostly use a 220 Case. Sometimes I use the 108 Case. Yes, that picture is a few years old, and yes, that is Scott.

This is what I used before, it has 120lbs on each wheel and is almost un stoppable. Or so we thought, where our new house it we get some big drifts up to 6 feet :o

SJ;
Come up here about Thursday, we're s'posed to get 5-8 inches tomorrow. I'll have a church parking lot, parochial school parking lot, and about a block's worth of sidewalks that'll have to be cleared..........plus, one or two nights of dumptruckin' hauling snow away for the city. :roll:

Dick,

I'm glad to see that I wasn't the only one that noticed that "big" truck double parked over two handicap locations. :wink:

Well... I Used to work for the County Hwy Dept Plowing and Maintaining State Roads... That was 8 years ago... They wouldn't let me take the Truck, Plow and Wing with me.... :( So This is what I use now... Works Pretty Good except for a few details like... Don't Try to Squirt Snow into a stiff wind or into Windows... :(

I do have a backup unit... But No Cab on that one...

Just for kicks I thought I'd post my snow removal equipment. Aluminum Ames grain scoop shovel, Key bib overalls, work jacket, insulated gloves, and the ever-popular Kromer "Blizzard Kap". I don't think I look that great in a Kromer, but they are mighty warm and comfortable. :lol:
