Those old municipal/airport Oshkosh snowblowers are bad @$$, could probably pick up a small car and redeposit it in small pieces a hundred yards away. |
Guessing you won't get on the guys ass when he mulches that wire too....
My Colorado compatriate with the Mog snowblower, also has something
you would lust after... A big old cornbinder snowblower that came from a defunct municipal airport in Nebraska... The 4 row snowblower is about 6' tall and 7'+ wide.... I like the Mog better though, even if it is smaller.
My little skidsteer eventually rose to the occasion, as with any snow moving device, it worked flawlessly all summer in the nice long, sunny, warm days, but when the first snow hits...curveball baby!!
This time it was the fuel line that I replaced over the summer.. being an opportunist, I replaced the failed fuel line with a piece of clear tubing that came from my brewing supplies. Worked great all summer. But, apparently the cold affects the plastic in a bad way, and it started to allow air into the fuel supply. Took about an hour to figure out what the heck was happening, but at least being clear hose, I could see the trouble. One trip to the parts store and a couple dieselly hands (see, there is an upside to this story) and it is back in action, and all my snow is moved.
I'm not sure I could charge for plowing snow, generally I accept donations... If I was to put a price on the sheer aggravation, I'd have to charge a grand or two to plow someone out...
