🏡 Better Homes WINTER IS COMING. What are you using for snow cleanup v. 2022/2023

[torquelover]

I have an MTD snowblower ready to go and a Craftsman snowblower ready as a backup. But for most days I use this thing and it rips:

I’m considering a single or dual stage electric snowblower and have been looking at them for a bit.

Left the tank almost empty and the fuel looked suspect. Added some fresh fuel and hooked up the electric start because I was tired of pulling it. Should be good to go once the funky fuel burns off.

Throaty sounding on the choke. I approve.

Usually store it with a full tank so there’s less space for condensation. Did not do that this year apparently

sounds like it's cam-only

I'd like to hear some recommendations from folks in Buffalo...

 

[Eagle]

Damn. That's some S.N.O.W.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Move to Florida.

 

[DEEZUZ]

I want that. 1 time in my life.

 

[DanJ]

My gutters would be fuuuuucked.

 

[Blownbyyou]

Would car roofs collapse under that weight?

 

[DEEZUZ]

Jeeps would be totaled

Move to Florida.

It's been a bit chilly these last few days. Though I really appreciate a few days in the 50's/60's since I don't really get to wear hoodies and pants much these days.

These old school single stage blower are kind of sketchy lol.

When I was driving up to Chicago I took the back way out of town up 116 and through Cazenovia and Benson. I drove past this on the side of the road and turned around to take a look. Talked the guy down to $200 and agreed to pick it up on Sunday. Got it home, fired it up and it rips pretty good. The guy said he put a belt on it and adjusted it up recently. I feel like this was a pretty decent deal.

Wait till there's a foot on the ground and I bet you can get 500 for it.

Some major snow in NY recently. This was posted on another group I’m on, the van is definitely sitting low.

 

[Yaj Yak]

that's awesome

 

[CMNTMXR57]

I don't think there is much you can recommend for them in Buffalo because even plows are having trouble and front loaders having issues getting them unstuck. What is a pleb to do?

As to a cars roof collapsing from the weight, it won't. The roof structure of a should be able to support the weight of the car itself in a rollover accident, so...

 

[CMNTMXR57]

One bright side to that guy, is that he has a temporary wall from his neighbors for a couple months.

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

Ready to roll.

Tire chains on, oil changed, took the deck off and stored it in the shed, hooked up the blower, winch and off road lights.

Come on no snow for 2 months

Soo my dad has an old 2 stage craftsman snowblower and just bought a Ryobi 40v snowblower because the big old craftsman is getting too hard for him to handle. If the Ryobi works well for him I’ll probably inherit the craftsman but I’m Kinda not wanting it because I don’t want to have to deal with moving and storing it. Decisions.. ?
