Snow Blowers?

Good looking tractor......
I see you got a similar grill guard too.

 

I have a "Snow Sport" hitch plow and a Makita 12" snow shovel (blower). After getting tired of gasoline, air filters, motor oil, and spark plugs I am "manual" or battery (Makita: lawn mower, chainsaw, leaf blower, fan, USB charger, snow shovel (blower) all on the 2-18 volt system). The "Snow Sport" is raised and lowered by hand to transport while the blade rolls in a "cam" action to engage the plow forward and roll backward while plowing. The snow shovel is rated at 30 tons of snow per hour and I believe it. I keep my 8 battery pairs inside/warm at the door and go in for more "ammo" as needed.

 

You guys made me do it!

 

I think ours has close to 200 hrs on it now...since April...

 

Nice sled Warner especially since it’s at least 20 years old

 

Great question. At least it's not about snow machines.

 

Same here in WI and all the Midwest. Shorts until you can't

 

Why not snow machines? They all contain a common theme... Darn it. Lost my train of thought, now I can't remember what they have in common

 

Lol

I just don't like the term "snow machine" for a snowmobile. They are snowmobiles. The manufacturers all call these things snowmobiles.

A snow machine is a snow making piece of equipment that's used to actually make snow like I posted before.

 

Around here we call them sleds But we also call pop soda, and subs grinders even though I haven't been able to pinpoint anything you can grind with them...

 

Then again I'm also a stickler for calling dual purpose motorcycles what they are: street legal off-road bikes, and enduro motorcycles for what they are, which are off road only bikes that happen to have lights.

 

Sleds is what we call them too. Slang at least

 

Ok but what do you call this part of a spark plug?

 

An electrode, specifically a side electrode

 

Mine does not accrue like when it was new but I remember the dealer being shocked when I went in to purchase goods for the first service. The first 500 came pretty fast. Somewhere around 80-90 average, these days. I had a lot of stuff I needed to get done with the trails. Mostly maintenance now and my trails are not as niccely kept as they once were.

 

All kidding aside, do snow blowers exist down there? Have you ever seen one being used in Georgia?

Living in a cold climate I guess its something I take for granted.

 

When I transferred back to North Carolina in '04 before deploying to Iraq, I had a snowblower from when I was stationed in Virginia. Cracked me up that there were people that had never seen one before. When I was asked what it was, I just told them it was a new type of leaf mulcher.

 

We call them sleds, I’ve owned quite a few growing up. Lack of snow and lifestyle changes got me out of the hobby. Keep telling the wife I’m getting on just to bomb around the property on, she’s all for it. Either that or I’m throwing a set of side by side tracks on the CJ2A. Last sled I owned was a 12’ Polaris Assault 800 144”. Before that a 10’ RMK 800 155” turbo, 09’ RMK 800 155”, 99’ XCR 700, 96’ XLT 600, and a few others mixed in.

 

Last season in northern Wisconsin was good, but only at the end of the season. 2 years ago, they didn't have snow for the trails to open even in northern Wisconsin. Eagle river fire the snowmobile world championship races had no snow to ride in for the city trails, or any trails. Then this year, there's snow down, more in southern WI, than easy to north where the real trail systems are. But if it continues like this, I'll probably buy a used newer 4 stroke Yamaha venture 2up . The wife loves riding on the back of a 2 up and I live driving around. She's fine with high speeds and not ludicrous amounts of air. Lol
