    Actually 18+, I'm at the edge of that white band. I am at a lower elevation but I currently have about 5" and shoveled off the ramp out the back door for the first time about 1/2 and hour ago.

    Can you imagine dealing with that with horse and wagon? Impressive that the Donner party made it as long as they did. We are just a bunch of pansies compared to our ancestors :)

    Around here lots of people put snowblowers on their tractors. No banks that way. Or have 3/4 ton trucks with bigger blades. 8 1/2 foot is the smallest most use. My last good plow 8-10 XLS Fisher. Loved it and wished I never sold it.

    And t think, we used to move snow with a #14 scoop shovel. I still have one but use it sparingly.

    Yup! :yes: :handshake:

    Looking at a LX2610 now and also a B2650. Tractor place has a couple used front snowblowers for the 2650 right now. The 2650 isn't in production any longer but accessories should still be available for some time. (heated cab....!)

    Ha! That was my "favorite" shovel to use when I was a kid! We're talking steel now.....not aluminum. :salute:

    I already had the 1/2 ton with the straight blade before I bought this place. It has done well.

    Yes on the front mount snowblower. Thats why I'm looking at justifying a tractor purchase. :D

    I know all about those, brother! I usually ended up with the long handled steel shovel. I remember grabbing a shovel full of snow, throwing it up the bank as high as I could get it, and then watching most of it slide right back down onto where I had just shoveled! And getting that "I'm even more tired now" feeling.....

    I used plastic for pushing snow around for years now.

    I’d rather go I90 than 70.

    that load got pushed off to next week. I’m now being told I get to sit on my load until the weekend or Monday now. Crane was scheduled for Wednesday.

    so no clue what I get to do.

    Oh I see, I thought you were headed home, I get it, you do a load on the way back too. Interesting, a lot of times my husband has a heck of a time getting roofing stuff transported. He's had to go to private brokers several times out of his own pocket.

    I just got a new one, old one was shaped more like a spade. And don’t get them plastic ones, they break too easily.

    We had a steel one when I was a kid. My sister had horses so I guess it was justified scooping the poop. I was so happy when that handle gave out.
