Five inches of wet snow fell in Gaylord overnight . I been anxious to try out the front blade and the rear box scraper for the very first time. I plowed my driveway and the neighbors driveway. It took a little getting used to the hand lever for the hydrostatic drive after have foot operated hydrostatic drive on my two JD 455 diesels. Everything worked excellent. I plowed with that little diesel engine rpms just above a idol and it has so much power . I did spin the tires four times with a full blade after stopping. What a great toy this is and looks like a great little snowplow rig too. Very, very happy with how it works in the heavy wet snow.
Waldon 5000 mini articulating loader- This morning I also fired up the Waldon for the first time with the cab and snowbucket and I love the cab. Even without heat in the cab it is nice and cozy compared to the last two winters being completely exposed to the wind . The Waldon bucket is going to get a pipe edge on it later today as it wanted to dig into the very wet soft grass.
48inch snowblower- I did not try out the snowblower because there was no snow left after I playing on the little JD and the Waldon, ha,ha.
I still got the whole back yard to plow later, tee, hee.
Have a great Sat.
