Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

It's still snowing but the plows went through.  I did my house then the one neighbors on the one side then the other side, then the one next to him and I said, what the hell, do the whole block.  Between 25 and 30 homes, for free.  No there wasn't 18" of snow, only about 4'' on the ground.  I put it on medium speed and just cut a nice path around the whole thing.  Merry Christmas to everyone.  Anyhow, anyone else out there crazy this time of year?  NO, I don't plan on doing that on every snow fall.

Rick,

Are you still having that drive engagement issue?  I posted a few suggestions.

I will putting mine to the ultimate test on Friday at my cabin.  I have about 3-5 feet of powdery snow I will be challenging her with.

The drift cutters will be at full attention.

Have a Happy Holidays!

Don' feel bad. The plows did not come to me eather. I had to do 4 blocks then turn and go another 300 feet to get to main road in 2 feet plus snow with my 10 year old ariens 924108.  My baby never let me down.

There's an unspoken rule around my neighborhood.  We don't tread our 2 stage snowblower onto another neighbor property that has a 2 stage snowblower, unless his machine is broken. 

If his machine broken or he's out of town, and he doesn't have teenage kids, then his sidewalk and driveway apron is fair game.  :) 

I'm surrounded by Honda, Toro, Simplicity, Deere, and Troy-Bilt snowblowers!  Ah, the sound of the engines in concert after a big snow storm.  Priceless.

I love that sound. The distant drone of a few blower engines muffled by a blanket of snow.

Most engines noise are muffled by snow, exception is the sharp crackles from an old L-Head engine and the tiny Toro 2 strokes from the 1970's, which seems to drowns out everything else.
