Snowthrower ramming speed
Original Message   Jan 22, 2005 12:57 pm
Just finished with 6 and 31/32" of snow here is Wisconsin.  It was very light and swirl in your face powder.  I do the major EOD at the end of our culdesac ( Marshall, do I get extra post points for using the word culdesac?) and really like the Honda Hydrostatic Transmission.  With one hand on the shift lever I repeatedly ram the snow bank at full speed to quickly back up and do it again without having to disenguage the Drive Clutch Lever.  If anyone has a lot of forth and back* to do, I recommend the honda.

                                                            

*  Footnote-one must go forth before one may go back.

Thanks for clerifying ChrisS. I am still learning about these machines concerning I don't even own one. So, it helps to have people like you to learn from. Interesting way to do that though. I can see where a Hydrostatic tranny would be much easier. How much money do I have to send you ChrisS LOL? First you helped me with my ankle and now this.
