I must say that I didn't mind the snow as much this year. Having this tractor snowthrower has made a big difference. Best of all that whole thing was 100% free! Someone gave the attachment to my Father in Law several years back. The tractor we got out by the road that someone was throwing away. Put a battery in it and it fired right up.
I finally convinced him to give me the attachment and over a couple of years, I rigged it all up. I had to make mounts and get everything bolted up right. This year, I finally have it all set. Properly weighted, tire chains, wheel weights (brake rotors), new belts, and all lubed up. It works like a charm. Really throws snow pretty well, especially the super heavy stuff at the end of the driveway the big plows leave behind. I have a big driveway and a lot of space between house and garage and this does a great job at cleaning up. It is fun too! I should have more footage on youtube in a day or two If I can find time to capture more video. A part of me gets excited when I hear there is snow coming.
