Got Snow Thrower?
Bought a new leftover snow thrower two winters ago after nursing along a 20 year old Torro machine. So glad I did. Not only did the new machine make clearing snow a snap, but the old motor will be used to build a go-kart or mini-bike for my daughter. :mrgreen:
Most people around me have monster machines, but I chose a relatively small one. Ariens 5524. Its 24" wide, two stage, 5.5 hp. Just the right size for what I have to do. Also have one of those bucket shaped snow shovels with the S handle. What a great shovel that is! Still takes about an hour to clear everything, but having a snow thrower makes it bearable. What do you guys use? |
Nothing.

This was my last winter shoveling. 8hp snowblower in my future.
|
i had a snowblower sitting in my shed for about 6 years i got it running this year no more killing my back shoveling
|
i hate those s shovels. they break so easy.

I bought a 24" Troy Built about 3 weeks ago before the other 2 storms. I've used it 5 times already so it was definitely worth it. I've been shoveling snow for 30+ years and it was time for a snowblower.

I bought a used plow last May for $175 because well, it was May. Came in extremely handy this year. I also have an older Toro 421 that I bought for $25. The guy couldn't get it started so sold it for the price of scrap, little did he know he forgot to turn the gas lever to "on"
|
wow, so much win there!

I just got done using our 25 year old little John Deere yard tractor with a snowblower attachment. However, that thing is really beginning to show its age this year. We sit ~800 ft off the road and we have another lane to plow thats about 300 ft long so there is usually quite a bit of snow removal where we live now and the little tractor isnt cutting it. Our big tractor got stuck (because of the crappy tires it has) in the storm a few weeks ago where we had 27" plus the 12 that was already on the ground. I think the free jeep i got is going to become a plow vehicle for next winter.

can't you get chains for the tractor?
