Thanks guys, it really does the job of moving snow. It's made by Berco, a Canadian company. I bought it through Jim's Tractors in MN a few years ago. I like it because with two passes I can have the driveway opened right up, and with two more, it's a boulevard. And some of this crowd knows I have a long driveway. It has it's own 18 hp engine to turn the augers and the fan. I just push it around with the ATV. It actually makes snow removal kinda fun.

That is a cool snowblower. Hopefully I will never have the pleasure of using one of them though....
We ended up with about 14-16" and the first couple inches was really wet heavy stuff. The last hours of snow were light powder. Now to clean up......Did get to get out in the M715 again though.

It isn't leaking, it's just marking its territory.

Here in Harford county Maryland we got damn close to 30"'s. They say youre not wheeling if you don't get stuck. Well I got stuck and so did my buddy in a JK with 4"'s and 35's. We were in the middle of no where and with both of us stuck it took us about a hour and a half to get our selves out in the middle of a white out. The green JK is me and the 1st pic is my Jeep stuck in the ditch. Then the black JK is Brian and he is also stuck in the ditch. We were nose to nose. Here are some pics.

Nice shots Mike! Go till you get stuck...Why do we do that?
Thats the way I work it...Just ask my wife. No matter the tire size chains are really the "way to go in snow." Even on a tractor with those huge tires you need chains in the snow to avoid getting stuck.
BTW snowing here again today expecting ten to twelve more inches over the next 24 hours. And its headed slowly your way again. Have fun guys.

I will try to post some pics of it on Saturday, but my 715 sits on 39.5" Michelins, and the front and rear axles were dragging through the snow. The bottom layer was that wet greasy snow, so if you cut down into it, and stopped, it takes a second to get going again. Reminds me of driving in really loose beach sand.

Yeah, even my mere 26 inch snow blower gets hung up in this stuff, I have to slowly cut a single path through the snow with way too much back and forth. Only then can I begin widening that path, slicing off just a few inches at a time of the existing path. It's far more tedious than I'd like. I thought that Mike was going to ship that 52 incher East!

Nice pix there Mike G. I think I've been in that ditch a few times too.
Hang in there SAM! I'm headed your way with that 52 inch snow-eater! Get that hot buttered rum ready!

Yeh, looks like another 12-18 inches for me . . . and my snow-blower is still crapped out . . . I now have a new arch enemy . . . it's name is Tecumseh!! I really don't feel like shoveling this one, and this time I have other family I am responsible for . . . . god send me strength, or at least a new head gasket LOL!!!
PS, hope the willys engine I rebuild is more reliable then this little 6hp!! Mike, at least put on some darn gloves when you are digging out your jeep . . . . . that's a good way to get frost bite!. You might as well be wearing flip-flops and a banana hammock! -Doug. |

I'm watching this next round coming and all I can think is: "Where am I going to put another foot of snow?" I've got piles of it in my parking lot 8 feet high now. |
