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

We are smack in the middle of February  and here in Montreal Quebec Canada , i've only taken the toro out twice. Talk about no snow. Seems when I was a young lad growing up in the 70's and early 80' s we had so much more snow.

Have you guys used your machines much this year? I've used more wd40 and oil than gas

Cheers

Not much :( I think I should refresh my gasoline in the tank in case of

If I had a beast I would tell him to eat the snow then I would not need a snowblower lol

When I bought my machine I tried to get everyone I knew to kick in on it since I was sure the minute I bought a snowblower the snow would end, forever.  I thought of it as insurance against snow! So far it's worked well as insurance. I've only used it twice, once last year and on the 12 incher we got this year. It's worked wonderfully when it was needed and it's great insurance.

Like others said we are expecting a minor snow event in eastern PA this evening but it sounds like it's not enought to even bother firing El Toro up.

Awesome picture AJace!

Only good week of snow here outside of Buffalo was a few weeks ago when I was vacationing in Mexico...my son had all the fun.

I have been using the Ariens 1332 DLE every few days to clear drifts and a few inches here and there.  I am really waiting for a nice "dumping" to really test the baby out.
So far it has never come close to bogging down or clogging.

Nothing worthy of a picture yet, but here we still have almost a few months of snow left.

The way I see it, you don't cry because you just paid for another year of fire insurance and your house did not burn down all year...........
It's a fact that we have good and bad years, and as long as I live here, there WILL be snowfalls worthy of my snowblower.

Marshall- You're too funny. I dunno, word has it a mosquito would have a hard time finding a place to land on the beast

Marshall- Sorry, no offense intended.

Oh geeze, none taken! Likewise, just spoofing around!
