MEXobiologist Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 when it does finally decide to continuously snow and pile up, lemme know what you think about your purchase. i found mine was a waste mostly. unless i could stay on top of it like every 5 hours or so, the stuff that collected and hardened to near ice underneath was still better taken care of with a shovel.

MEXobiologist Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 woah.... even if you paid a bit less... O_O mine was only 380 something after sale price with tax, its a craftsman something or another >.> it does alright until the lake effect snow comes in strong. a few days of constant snow like that and the wet heavy stuff just compacts enough and hardens so that the blower simply rolls over it. still use it sometimes, but i find that in the thick of it, my shoveling still does it best. the downside is feeling like i took a tumble down 500 stairs after and can't feel my extremities.
Misaka Posted January 4, 2017 Author Posted January 4, 2017 We had an ice snow mix but durring the system we had a total of 10" of snow That brute went through everything including the ice chopped it to bits Thing weighed more than expected
Rogue_Alphonse Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 See I got a snowmobile but instead am putting its engine on a golf cart so I can have use of it all year round...

Misaka Posted January 4, 2017 Author Posted January 4, 2017 Even packed snow "riven on and packed down" it removes it without issue
Judy Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 I don't think it's stopped, here, since last night...you're more than welcome to it...
Misaka Posted January 4, 2017 Author Posted January 4, 2017 I don't think it's stopped, here, since last night...you're more than welcome to it... send it here please
Master-Debater131 Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Need to recoup the money from this snowblower Just come over near me. We are supposed to get 1-2 Feet in the next day or so.

Heres a trick Do not drive over the snow. When you do you just compact it and create ice-pack that is tough to get rid of. if you do get ice then the best way to do it is blow all the snow you can, then throw a bunch of icemelt down. Let that work for a few hours, then throw some more down. At that point it usually makes it really brittle and fairly easy to scoop up with a flat-head shovel.

Misaka Posted January 4, 2017 Author Posted January 4, 2017 Just come over near me. We are supposed to get 1-2 Feet in the next day or so. where?
Master-Debater131 Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 where? Colorado Wait....dont come. No Vacancy
Master-Debater131 Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 now thats something I don't have issues with my brute eats that stuff up with no issues then again with a 27" width and a 23 intake that does make a difference It was more a trick to avoid making ice under the snow than anything. Once you drive over snow, its ice. Its tougher to get rid of at that point.
Misaka Posted January 4, 2017 Author Posted January 4, 2017 Colorado Wait....dont come. No Vacancy thats light snow now if it was Lake effect snow then you have me sold
Master-Debater131 Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 thats light snow now if it was Lake effect snow then you have me sold Its not always light It really depends on teh storm. Sometimes its light and easy to deal with, othertimes its full of water and heavier.
Misaka Posted January 4, 2017 Author Posted January 4, 2017 Its not always light It really depends on teh storm. Sometimes its light and easy to deal with, othertimes its full of water and heavier. thought mountain effect didn't have any problems?
Master-Debater131 Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 thought mountain effect didn't have any problems? It all depends on where the snow comes from. If we get an Albuquerque Low then the snow is full of water and really heavy. If it just spills over the mountains it can be heavy or light. If it comes from the north its usually pretty light. We get all different types of snow, and you are never totally sure what you are going to get.
Misaka Posted January 4, 2017 Author Posted January 4, 2017 huh so its true what they say isn't it? the Mountains are your 4 seasons
Master-Debater131 Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 huh so its true what they say isn't it? the Mountains are your 4 seasons Totally. They make the weather a total crapshot. Its snowed in the middle of June before. They dominate everything about our weather. Its nice, but sometimes it causes things to be crazy.
