Pep talk with tractors !

[jason silliker]

Works great Jason. Throws some good. Next storm take it here and see how it works with my high banks, hehe. Banks melted a bit today. But still 4 to 5 feet tall in places.
Is that a berco blower. ?

Noel

Yup

 

[Propane1]

Yup

Why do they throw good is what I can’t figure out. To look at them, they look the same as other snow blowers.

[jason silliker]

I think because of a 4 blade fan plus it turns at 1100RPM

 

[Cvans]

I like your pipe idea. Did that blower come with skids?

 

[jason silliker]

Yeah I made those ones but the original ones were similar

I had to go out and give my tractors a pep talk too today and give them a little reassuring that they'll be used this winter.
Had gotten the Roper's wheels all painted up and looking pretty.
Put the blower and chains on the Sears.
Built my enclosure for the Yanmar. Even bought new chains for it.!!

All for a lousy 6" of snow we had so far this winter and had 51° degrees yesterday. Heck just might start getting the lawn mowers ready for spring...

Jumpins Bill. And how did they react to that. Time to get the garden started. Hehe


Didn’t you get a bunch of snow at one point a year or two ago ?

Noel

 

[chieffan]

Garden ? ? 5 ° F, feel like -4°. Lets see, what can I grow in frozen ground that the cold won't kill? ? Snow bunnies but do snow.

I was more $issed than they were.! I'm the one that has to undress them come spring.
And yes last year was a dilly.

Kinda hope I didnt jinx myself.

_17*F here this morning lots of snow everywhere I have been scattering corn around only that's been growing is the rabbits and squirrels

We've had more snow this February than the last 3 whole winters combined...

I'm so tired of moving it. That ice storm made such a mess of my yard and house. At least a dozen big limbs down off my only pine tree. Not little ones either. Plus 3 gutters falling off the house now.

Going to be a busy spring.

We had a bad winter 14/15. They say we have had more snow so far this year than then.

I'd be moving from PEI and moving to PWS.

(PLACE. WITHOUT. SNOW).

It's very rare we ever get snow like that, Noel. 2' to 4' drifts, sure lots of times. Over that maybe once in a decade. 2013-2019 were very wet years, with the worst blizzard during that time was the opener of the wet times. October 4-5th 2013. Trees still had leaves so that made it much worse.

Then ending it, 2019 was the wettest year ever on record here. Mostly rain, but we got a lot of snow too. Been pretty dry since. It will cycle back around, but who knows when.

You need designated tractors, Bill! My mowing tractor just sits now. Haven't put the blade on it again ever since I put a bunch of work into the MF8E to make it do a nicer job. Only used the MF12G for a couple of winters anyway from 2015-2017. The MF8E was having old age difficulties those years but it's healthy again now!

If I understand what I just read we are between 15 to 20 inches short of snow this year. The most we've had is probably 4 inches and the rest have been one to two inches. We maybe have had 8 inches all winter.

I think we've had more than you if that's the case, Chris. One snowfall we had last November (I think) was 6-1/2, but the forecast was "a trace to an inch"---LOL! Probably have had 6 or 7 more, one inch at a time.
