Love all the videos of real world what we actually deal with and how we get it done. How much snow?

 

[Fink]

We were forcast to get like 8-15 it rang in at more like 6-7. Hopefully we get some real snow end of the month into february. 318 is running great. I do need to replace the front Tires. Not sure whether to go with Hdaps to match the rears or get some V-61s.

Nice video. I really enjoy the sound of a good running Onan.

In SW coastal Maine we got about 6” of snow before it changed to sleet. Precip has stopped for the time being.

I like the HDAPs in the snow but I havent mowed with them yet. It is only on days like today that I even use 4WD.

I have Hdaps on the rear so its a toss up on v61 or Hdap fronts might just make it a matching set

In my part of MASS up near the NH border we had 12" and then about an inch of hail on top of that. I took out the 580 w/ a 48" blade, started around the back corner of the house and slid into a very precarious location 1 foot from a 30 foot drop. Terra Grips, HDAPs and 200lb of weight didn't help and I thought I was going over. I had given up and was about to tie up to my truck when I thought about the 3600lb winch I had put together for the rear sleeve hitch. Forgot all about it.

I put the winch on and ran it to a lally column in the basement. Stepped on the gas and pulled the trigger. I was out and off the ice in 2 seconds flat. After a quick changes of clothing I was back out and finished up the driveway in about an hour with no other problems at all. My wife thought I was going over for sure and spent the rest of my plow time screaming at me out the window if I got too close to the edge.

i also learned the lesson of letting the wheels fall off the asphalt this year but watchin the OPs video it doesnt look like it is an issue for him. That said, I dont ever put myself in a situation my lil toy truck cant pull it out of.

Where is the picture of what you almost went over on?

Ha, with plenty of those moments under my belt in life, I wouldnt blame anyone for not taking a pic of it. I lost my wedding ring during one of those episodes and by nothing other than dumb luck found it in the mud only to get divorced 8 years later.

Nice video, that tall chute really let's the machine toss the snow some distance.

 

[tracktortag]

Nice vid, and your 318 did a nice job.:fing32:

Glad your ok sir.

And thanks guys. The small mods you can do to the model 49 definitely make it stand the test of time. I'm going to have to do some rust repair this summer the inner shell is in rough shape. But it still works great.

Must have been REALLY scary if it required a change of clothing. :Stop:
