Default Too Much snow...........

I agree Dale. Two feet of snow is too much most of the time. I will take a little off the top and then cut to the bottom of the snow on the walkway and driveway. Even better if i just go out and have fun plowing before it gets that deep. My Toro snow blower is a walk behind. It works the heck outta me if there's more than four inches of the white stuff. Even then, I like to use the AC because the driveway is 80 feet long. 60 inch blade vs 21 inch blower. That's what it boils down to.

Hey MUDBLASTER I have to thank you for the info you gave me regarding an old post I had put up. It was you that made me decide the brand of tire I was going to go with, "GATORS". After i saw the snow you guys were riding in on your pics I made up my mind that day Thanks again!!! Plus I couldn't resist the price!! My second choice was going to be the ITP 589 very good tire but a little too pricey up here in CANADA! Also MUDBLASTER, When you enlarge pic #2 it looks like your riding with a CYCLOPS, Im not trying to make fun, but it's funny that the guy in the pic came out that way LOL!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] I'd also like to give a shout out to CHUCK....PEACE!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Saw a snow blower that mounts in place of a plow. Has it's own 7.5hp motor and is 48" wide. Should move lots of snow.

No, it's a snow blower. Has a set of rotoary blades that chew up the snow and blow it out a chute to the side about ten feet. It does not push snow it sucks it up and blows way off to the side. Plowing means pushing the snow over to the edge of the plow blade.

I think I saw one in Northern Catalog but I can't find it now. They are expensive. Seems the one I was looking at was around the $1,100.00 range. I'll post again if I can remember where I saw it.
PS. Fufighter! You're the man...

It amazes me what you can actually buy for your ATV. I've seen a back hoe attachment you can mount under you wheeler like a snow plow, it comes with a honda motor to power it, it's got a small shovel but you could probably dig a real nice hole with it!!! Not to mention how fun it would be!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Hey MUDBLASTER what happened to the pic of the CYCLOPS LOL!!! WOW are those ever some nice snow photos looks like a really nice place to ride, those gators make short work of the snow eh? Thats the reason I bought them. I tried them on wednesday finally hit the foot marker, with -30 degree weather they performed beautifully!!! What P.S.I are you running them at? I have 26" tires and am running 5 front 5 back I wanted to run less cause the sidewalls are so tough it seem like I can almost run them flat, but having a 26" tire they look a little small with almost no air. Should have bought 27" or 28" but I thought I would loose to much of my bottom end not to mention they are a little heavy.
