After the ridiculous record-breaking snowfall lastyear, I vowed there was absolutely NO FRIGGIN WAY I would go through another winter without a snow blower. Well, I sold off some of my extra collectibles and saved my pennies, and today, this was delivered to my house:

Nope, I can wheel it over with no gas and just fire it up when I want to shoot Nick matter 60 feet in to the air :)

Try not to let the toy factor overwhelm you.. it's starting to look pretty sad for you :tiphat:

I want one! I don't really have too much to shovel but it would be nice.

Quick question... where does it throw the snow exactly? Over the other side of your drive, then you go blow that side then it's back where it started? :dance:


Now that's just silly. You'd turn the top so that it shoots the snow the same way! :tiphat:

And Dan, if you run him over with that don't you think it's going to start to look sad for you. I mean murder is frowned on in Canada.

You can control the height/distance and direction of the chute as you drive it, so you just keep aiming for the big pile next to your driveway :tiphat:

You think that's awesome? Look at what I get to plow /my/ driveway:

With a snow plow, of course. I think the tractor's a bit bigger than that, as well.

(And is red the official color for snow-clearing gadgets and such? O.o)

I use a shovel when it snows lol.

Where I live, last year I believe we had some snow at the end of summer. This year has been nice though, no snow yet :dance:

I only needed the tractor last year because of all the snow. Our hired snow plow couldn't do the deep stuff. Also, I live on a farm, out in a big meadowy like area, so a shovel or snowblower just won't cut it. The driveway is wide and long.

Actually, this is not so much for my drive as it is to get the snow to the place where the big pile is. You see, because of the way my house is, all our driveways are pretty much right next to each other, so when you shovel, you have to haul all the snow to the front of your driveway and then use a scoop and bring it to the big pile on the corner of the street. With this baby, I can blow it right from the front of my driveway to the pile without hauling it all there. So instead of spending 2 - 3 hours, I can do it in 30 minutes.
