I first want to start with a big thank you to all of you that gave me advice on my snow blower purchase a few months ago. It is very much appreciated.
We finally had a bit of snow over the weekend. While I wouldn't consider this a major snow event at all, we, so far, have about seven inches on the ground. I figured that this was as good a time as any to try out my new to me blower, just in case there is something wrong with it. Better to test it now when it isn't necessary than later when it would make the difference of getting out or not.
I started out this morning by taking off my dual wheels and switching to singles with chains. I then checked the oil in the gear box of the blower and adjusted the casters to their highest position. All of my area is a stone drive, so I want to keep as many rocks out of the blower as possible. After a quick check and adjustment of the slip clutch, I mounted it up.
Note to self for the future, make sure that the fuel tank is full before mounting the blower. The electric start hood doesn't open very well with the huge blower in front of it. :fing20: Oh well, I managed to get it open far enough and stick a small block under it enough to fuel the tractor.
I couldn't believe how well this thing works! Snow cannon is no exaggeration! This thing really throw! Even in this rather dry, powdery snow it performed very well.
Alright, enough of my rambling. I have some pics for all of your browsing enjoyment.
Thanks again and on to the pics!
