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

Hi everyone. My wife is sick and tired of removing snow with a coal shovel. She is a good woman, but she is getting close too 90 years old...and I have decided that it is time too invest in a "snowthrower". We live on fixed income...and can afford too spend possibly $65-$70 on a new machine. We live in Newfoundland, Canada..and our average snowfall is about 80 foot per year. Thanks in advance.

Hi Mr Buttlint, Being a fellow Canadian from the land of perpetual ice and snow, I feel your pain. I thought 80 feet was the typical daily snowfall, not the yearly average. Live and learn. May I suggest you get a younger wife. One with more energy. There are certain side benefits to this approach, not the least being that she can handle a coal shovel and other wifey duties much better. Besides a nice 25 year old will look great at the office parties. Other men will look up to you as a real studly sort of guy. A win-win situation.

Oh your Buttlintliness, tell the wife to suck it up! : - )

Oh well, tried 7 different ways to post a pic, no go on any of them. :- (

Who are you people, and where are you taking me?

LOL.... C

Welcome Chris and Mints. Rob....Have you met the new moderator yet? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/buttlint/newwtbcopyweb.jpg

LOL Lint.

Hi... OK... $70... that's a lot... I suggest a smaller shovel for the 'lil woman to ease the work... Dave...

Re: the new moderator. Well she is a major improvement over those stuffed shirt guys we had on WTB. She fills our her shirt in a much nicer way. <>

She is quite the task-mistress...Do this...do that is all she ever says. (It's hard too type with this stupid blindfold on.) At least the welts on my wrists are clearing up. Wind are you viewing the threads in the "Thread mode" or the "Outline mode".

Thread mode. Now I switched to Outline mode, and then clicked on reply to see where it will take me this time.

Lint I see a pattern developing here...dominant ladies...tied up...blindfolds....pain.... I think I'm getting a little scared...(making big yikes eyes!) Paula

$70, that would be a sigle tire on my machine.

OUCH!...I mean...AHHHHH!!! Now you be nice too uncle 'lint....After all... he does have the fastest digipad on the web. :-o Love ya, sweetheart.

Could be snow bunny territory, but for $60, I don't know how much blowing you're going to get. Snow that is.

It might be easier to get a new, younger wife than a $60 snow thrower. :-)

Nibbler,, My thinking would be going the other way. I think it would be easier to find a $60 snowblower at the garage sale run by the soon-to-be ex-wife of the man out shopping for that younger wife!! This based on part life-experience and part common-sense! Believe me, no one ever changed wives for $60! LOL!

Just checking in.......

SO LINT, WHAT DID YOU END UP WITH? 

Talk about cabin fever.

Let's get a pool going on what he got.

I say Lint got a Toro, probably got a good deal on one of those recent "returns".  What do I win?

AZ

Don't just throw the 90 year old wife out,  Trade her in for three 30 year olds.  One to shovel the snow and one to cook,  and then there is one left.  you'll just have to find somethin for her to do so she won't feel left out.

60 bucks,  Had to be a jacobsen snowburst on e-bay.

As long as you didn't go south on us and trade in the wife for a cabana blower boy, I don't care what you ended up with.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

'Lint,use the money wisely and just wait till the sun melts it.

Seems like Navihawk is suggesting 'Lint go with bottles of booze instead. Can't blame him if he does.

Now Ben07, are you married? 'Coz I don't think I'd be too happy ending up with three wives. Am not sure if any of the guys here would too. Anyone?

Good idea though.

Yes married, and another female in the house, Daughter away at school.  only reason I mentioned that is when she is away 9 monts of the year, sure I miss her, but there is noticably less hassles with only one female in the house.  Bummer when they get in groups .LOL J/K

Ben07

Maybe 'lint got a Snapper. 

Well guys,
I think you were right!
The old gal just couldnt move the snow like she used too.
I loved her dearly...But I decided it was time too trade her in.
So I took her down too St. Johns and made a trade with old Rufus Macallister.
Seems he had these 3 daughters that just werent worth a lick to himself....
They couldnt cook...couldnt clean...and and none of lads in town wanted anything too do with a woman that couldn't gut a moose all right and proper. And thats for sure!

So we made us a deal....I figgered the girls all had good strong backs...and all they needed was someone too lead them in the right direction....and I knew I was just the man for the job.

Heck...Rufus even sweetened the deal with some cash....I got me enough too buy me a new suit of clothes and even spent some time down in Jamaica...freshening up my tan!

Snappers!

NICE GOING LINT! 

I WOULD CHECK THE ONE ON THE RIGHT REAL CLOSELY THOUGH, MIGHT HAVE BEEN A DIFFERENT SEX AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER.

Wow by the colors of their outfits, looks like yoy got the equivalent of a Toro an AYP and a Snapper or Ariens. 

Make sure you write A review, after you get over the learning curve runnin those high end machines.

Need any tips let us know.

Ben07

Guys,
Although they may look like Snappers....they are actually called Snow-Hoe's.

A Bare Buff Bluenoser?

Hey 'lint old buddy, old pal, old friend. After a hard day of working in the shop, I'm sure the last thing a mechanic wants to do is go home and work on his own OPE. So, I'll tell you what old friend, how's about I come over and do the necessary maintenance on your new snowthrowers. Number three I might leave a while longer, as it looks like it is about to morph into a different species.

Man,
You guys are a tough crowd!
But knowing your weakness for twins........There ya go!..... You guys happy now?.. 
Made me throw away a perfectly good  wench!

Lint, You needed to get rid of that thief anyway!!

Look, that little he/she stole the lettering right off of your hat Lint!!

The new "twins" are much easier on the eye, better than the pre-op tranny.

Ah, much better, I can look at not cringe now. Mucho Improvment, the Lint man should try hooking up with the Chief in over in Nairobi. LOL

Can't help you with that because down here we don't blow white stuff but we can sure give an eye on these pics

Be glad too hook with the numbnuts.....Maybe do some trade for some SIL action?
Teaches me I gotta watch who I deal with in St. Johns.....(Bad a$$ed crowd up in Newfieland.)
I give a couple of extra cod cheeks and seal flippers for the she-man .
What do I get in return? ............A Honda blower with a Tecumshe engine!

BTW: Welcome too the forum LazyPort.  (Them Aussie dollars spend just like greenbacks around here!)
