I know most of the time that we discuss specs of one unit vs another unit. I wanted to start a thread about the actual use fo the various machines. How to use them effectively. I thought that we could all put some tips together on the application of removing snow quickly and efficiently. Many of these tips will be common sense but I am amazed at how many people really fight their machine and do things in a way that seems to add time not save it. I'll start and ask you to chime in with ideas that you have found work well for you.
Start on the windward side of your property so that when you throw snow it will drift onto the parts of your property that have not been done yet. I see many people trying to blow snow into the wind. Use the wind to your advantage.
Make the longest forward path that you can. The less that you turn or have to pull the unit backwards or put in reverse the quicker that you will get done.
Again, curious as to what are some of the time saving tecniques that you use when doing your property. If you are a pro and do snow removal as a business I am sure that you have developed many techniques to speed up the process.
Another one for me was that I use to clear the path around the mail box first, only to throw snow back into the street from the side walk and then have to go do infront of the mail box again. Now I try to do the remove where I won't have to go over an area twice.
