Hi all it's Bryce. Just got our first real snow of the season, 4-5 inches of powder. Thought to myself WOO HOO snow blower time. Hooked it up, and hit the road... Trying to get it set right so that it blew snow instead of gravel was a joke, whenever it did pull rocks into the paddle, it would PADDLE them straight towards me (got hit 7 times), and the snow would just barley funnel down to the paddle, it would just stick to the blade... SO, I dumped that idea and hooked back on to the blade (dearborn 19-5 6 footer) angled it to the right one "click" so that the cutting edge was forward, and in a forward motion, it would slide the snow to the right. Set the blade on the road, put the tractor in 3rd gear, and pinned the throttle, and MAN was that powder flying! Had a blast, here is a picture of me "testing" the snow blower in the meadow. My only question for the day though, is how long I should allow the tractor to warm up? It seems to be hovering around 15-30 degrees here, and whenever I use it I let it run about 10 minutes at a fast idle before using it. Bryce P.S. There is also a close up of the Ford, please not my new fuel gauge in-front of my left leg, and me being a typical smart a$$ with my "not calender worthy smile" as mom calls it. :)
