Anyone have a special cap or hat that they wear while throwing snow? I use this one Stormy Kromer. My gal said it looks like an Elmer Fudd hat. I told her thats why I like it!! This puppy is warm.

I always wear my old cowboy hat I've had since the early 70's. Whenever a gust of wind blows some back at me I just lower my chin and the brim keeps it off. I normally don't worry about earmuffs or a face mask unless I'm going to be out for a very long time, usually if we've had a heavy snow it means it's not real cold.  Nice hat,but with that cowboy hat a winchester rifle would go nice straped right to side of your snow machine..

Ha Ha to funny! So you do have a Winchester..I was looking at them last night on line.. I am thinking of Getting a Henry ,they were made in NY. I think there in Bayonne N.J now . I have one, not quite as nice as my Winny, but I like it a lot. Be careful in NJ, I think my Henry is a felony to possess in that state (magazine too big). And yes, they did move to Bayonne.

OK Here you are, I really like this one. It handles the blowsnow also. Just don't accidentally wear it to the bank.

Bill_H: That machine looks like an MTD and fairly recient because of the hood control wires. I've never seen a track with that. That probably has the trigger turning levers which are nice. How well does it turn into snow? For example given the snow height in the picture if you were to take a right would you need to do anything at the handles or will it just dig in? What's nice about the MTD is the 6 and 2 range of speeds which are very nice for a good slow while still having fast top forward and very good reverese speeds. The snow seems light but a lot and looking at where you have cleared that thing is going along fine hugging the ground without any lifting. BTW: I'm in Oquossoc in the summer. Pretty cold up there and oodles of snow. |
