Thats lookin great Larry! It will be nice when you git r done. We had 10 inches of heavy wet snow today and the ole PK didn't want any of that! If I was smart enough to wait about two or three hours, the temp was droppin and it wouldda plowed better. Being above freezing made the snow want to pack in front of the blade and even tho I had it soaked in plow wax, the snow really didn't have anywhere to go it was so deep. One pass and the windrow was as tall as the rear tires on the tractor! The huge windrow made the second pass a real pain to keep the tractor straight, and I had to ride the brake on that side really hard. Holdin the brake and pushin so much ran me a little short on power..... I could go on but you get my drift. As bad as it was, I'm glad I had the PK as the old Panzer I used to use would not have made a dent in that mess. If there were just a little more snow, I wouldda had to fired up the Gravely walkbehind, put the duals and chains on, and done some seroius walkin. Tomorrow I will take the MRS to work in the morning and then go to my mothers and see IF the snowblower will move that much snow. I have serious doubts as its just a little 2 stroke jobbie and with the temps well below freezing by then, the snow may be frozen like ice. If it turns into a shovel job, I'll be flaggin down someone with a tractor!
