I just spent 4 hours clearing the drive and the yard.
6 to 8 foot piles of white stuff everywhere!
They are calling for more snow tonight and tomorrow.
I was watching the news this morning and saw the snow up at Donner Pass and in San Bernadino County. It's crazy! :oops: Houses are buried! I've never seen anything like it!

66°F here today. Mowed the lawn this morning then did a little welding on one spot on my FEL bucket.

Cat watching me the entire time.

I was watching the news about that. Pretty normal around here but most of the residents there must be loing their minds with all of that white crap.

Cat's cool! As mine just walked all over the key board, then shut the monitor off! :confused:
Dang mowing grass, that cuts deep! :cry::mad:
Now go walk yourself off a short dock into a deep lake to atone for your actions!😝

When we have a mild winter (which is most) I have to mow until about the 1st or 2nd week of December, then start again late February, no later than March 1st. So roughly a 3 month reprieve...then back to mowing.

In the peak growing season I will need to mow every 5 days. Grass will literally grow an inch a day.

Lawn is not that bad since front and back yard is around 4 acres and I can knock that out with the Zero Turn.

But pastures take days to mow with my tractor and it needs to be done at least every 10 days with a 15' bat-wing mower.

We basically have 4 hot months here (June-Sept) then the rest of the year is very nice.

I'll have this kind of grass growing (already cut once) by early March each year.

But I feel for you guys that live in the Snow Belt. I lived in Kansas for about 6 yrs and I know what snow and cold is. Also the mess it makes when it starts to melt. All that nasty slush, ground won't dry out for months.

Moved heavy wet snow this morning, had to push into driveways as the backdrag doesn’t have the right weight distribution to cut into the crusted snow very well. Due for a regen and parked in front of open garage door - mistake!

10th regen in 487 hours. What a crazy winter here in Michigan. Seems like the ground never froze good.

Blew a few inches of wet stuff again. Fell on bare and thawed stone. Lowered my shoes to leave a little more. The UHMW shoe liners help quite a bit. Don’t dig in as much. Slide over everything easier.

This is a pic I posted here a couple years ago. Welded a wider "foot" on the shoe, then a couple years later added the half-inch UHMW liner. Can be rotated 180 degrees if leading edge wears down. Hasn't happened yet; that stuff is really tough......

Like many in the Northeast, between the plow blade digging in and the R1's spinning a trench I made the driveway a muddy mess. It is what it is.

Cleared the first round of about 16" of snow thus morning. Plan on getting out to finish after it stops snowing later today.

I repaired my electric chute actuator system. I thought the unit was dead as getting power and would not work. I purchased a new actuator and installed and it did not work. I did some more checking with my meter and there was power. Found that when dealer installed the system they also had a connector on the ground wire between the batter and the wire itself and the connector had come apart and was sitting behind battery. So lesson is check how the unit is grounded and check the ground fully . Found out did not need new actuator just chase wiring ie Ground. Darn Electrical is tricky all the time. All good now though.

Measured the MX with bush hog length. About 25’. Thinking of getting a trailer and maybe do some side work.

Looking at goosenecks in the 30’ range.

We cleaned the snow once today.
Now it stopped snowing. Time to do the Finnish cleaning.
Got a fair amount of snow.
Maybe a foot or so.

I bought a trailer this week. Just waiting for the GVW sticker to come in. Being hooked up to a commercial pickup truck it needs to be under 10,000 pounds to avoid the CDL license requirements.
I need to get my CDL so I can tow anything I need to.

Absolutely DO get a gooseneck!
They tow so much better than bumper pull.

We got about 3 or 4 inches of wet heavy snow in North East Ct overnight, and it is more like glue than snow. It was so heavy that it would push the BX around if I got too much of it in front of the blade. Had to redo the main part of the driveway that the neighbor plows with his truck since he never plows it wide enough and leaves the snow along the edges to melt. If you don't push them off to the side, when they freeze the road gets too narrow, and when they melt, the water floods the dirt roadway, causing mud. Some people never learned how to plow snow!

Installed my new Bad Boy rotary cutter and was finally able to mow down the long grass that grew from all the rain we had here in the Texas hill country last September.

Oh boy, that looks like a brush fire waiting to happen!
I would be terrified to mow that, one good spark and that's all she wrote!
