I was sitting here today watching the football games when I heard the rumbling outside. We have about 4 inches of new snow since this morning. Someone that lives around here had a somewhat older small lawn tractor, chains, weights and a single stage snow blower.
It does a great job of getting the snow off the sidewalk. I had an image of those snow throwers putting the snow about 10' out, but this one only dribbled it a foot or two past the side of the thrower. (which is far enough, just not what I expected).
It was underpowered for this job, so if snow takes that much power, kudo's to all of the lawn machines putting in the 20hp vtwins. This guy needs one.
This guy is going to park his tractor back in the garage as one big ball of snow and ice. Does it thaw out in the garage or is it a block of ice until the weather warms up. I can't imagine his garage is heated. What do you do after you park it to thaw it out?
I learned something. Get 2 stage, and don't worry about the motor being a little large. It could come in handy.
Kudo's to this guy, I know he did a lot of walks around here that weren't his. He didn't get mine, but he did save a lot of people a lot of shoveling. If you got the machinery and enjoy it, feel free to enjoy it a ways down the street.
