Gave Up On Snow

[Donald]

My 36" Ariens got some use on Tue/Wed and more today to finish a parking area.

With about 12" to 15" I had to run it at its slowest gear or it could not take in all the snow and would not clear the last inch.

The 11 HP engine was running at full power when it was in a full 15". I could have gone out in the middle of the storm and done a first pass, but what fun would that be?

What did you end up with on Tuesday?
Towns near us were saying 16-17", for us it was not wet at all but DENSE.

I reworked my Craigslist snow blower ads.

We'll see if it helps!


Funny...both blowers sold a day later. Don't understand it, but, I WILL take it. Sun shining as the new owner's pick up trucks disappeared down the street.
