Well, roughly half way through the snow season around here anyhow....

Plows holdin up well.

My one original push ram that was never replaced has a lot of slop in the packing nut area, causing leakage. I have to top it off every storm. I think It will make the season out.

I had a wire get loose inside my plowlights causing markerlight fuse poppage.

Nothing major. Earning its keep as always.
 
mine is just sittin. cant seem to do anything to get snow. i am ready to make a sacrifice to the gods above:D. cant pay the bills on obamas hope and change.

anyway i got a screamin deal on a 8ft fisher with wings this year. its a mm2 and only 3 years old. mint shape.
 
I've only had to break out a shovel once, which was kinda dumb to do since it all melted 2 days later. This is about as 180 as you can get for us from last year. I flat ran out of places to move snow last year, this year I could realistically go out and rake leaves right now if I wanted to.
 
^^^x2 were not gettin much here in wisco.

Had one record snow fall and a few minor snowfalls and thats it. I had prepared everything around the farm to be ready for 100" again. March is still around the corner, seems like weve always gotten hit hardest then.

Our Hiniker has held up ok. A lot of lost skid shoes, and a lot of fried solenoids but its still moving snow.

I assume you are blowing the down coil? If so I can tell why... First change both the coil and the valve, call me I'll hook you up with a good price, 2 nd if you get out of the truck TURN off the control, problem solved.

Ya most of the people who run it including me dont sut the control off much.
 
I finally got my plow back with the broken wing fixed. Now it probably wont snow again. I broke it in the first driveway of the first storm, and have had to pick it up from the shop and plow with it broken every storm since then. I am looking forward to having a functioning wing again. Plowing with what was essentially a straight blade plus one wing was extremely frustrating. I honestly don't know how you straight blade guys can stand it. I will never go back to a straight blade. This has really been a reminder of how incredible the Blizzards are when it comes to productivity. Nothing worse in my opinion than having to move the same snow more than once.

My friend has a 810 blizzard and I used it for 1 lot while my Ford was down and even that sucked. I am so use to the 8611 blizzard. I can't even imagine plowing with a regular plow.
 
I havent plowed since 1-18-10 and even then it was only an 1" or so on the ground. It poured rain on us last Monday and Tuesday so the sander got a workout on some driveways but due to the lack of snow/ice the rain washed alot of it away so i couldnt sand everything either. This season just sucks!!! I had a feeling this last summer this winter was going to be an easy one.
 
woooooo hooooooooo, were getting snowwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!! holy smokes i never thought this day would come. i was so dammed pissed saturday. well more jelous than anything of dc and them goons down there.:)
