....for Kama's on the warpath! :D

10 hp Ariens, 36" cut (that's 3 feet!), chains on the tires, five forward speeds, snow chop bars, and a headlight for snowblowing at night.

Just gave her the inaugural run, with 7" on the ground there was absolutely no contest. Half throttle, third gear, and it cut it like buttah.

Man, only in Buffalo would you need the front-end off commercial airport snow removal equipment :D . That thing looks dangerous!

Storm pending tonight for me, will cost me another $20. That's what I pay my plow guy for every storm over 3" ;)

We have those here and you can even ride them. They are called combines.

What would you charge to come and do mine? I have a 6 HP Sears with a 22" cut. I doesn't get much of a workout the past couple of years as I decided that come spring the snow melts anyway by itself, and it's not like I'm trying to impress anyone with two nicely shovelled driveways, a parking lot and +++ like i used to do, so :wtf:

I park close to the road end of the house driveway and sit in front of the woodstove, or my 805 SET amp keeping cozy warm and hibernate the winter away.

No, no....that was two winters ago as I recall. That was my old Toro that came down on my skull while unjamming the ice out of the drive gears when I had it up on jack stands. That was only an 8 hp/32" cut.

At top gear full throttle, a fast walking pace, and I can throw snow clear across to the other side of the street :D

Grumpy, just what I thought :D
I am happy we don't have those problems down here, cutting the lawn on a riding lawnmower, drinking a beer at the same time is much better ;)

So being from the left coast here I guess you guys could 'splain some things to me.

Is this like a competitive sport of some kind?

Like where does the white stuff go after you chew it up?

Don't it like get cold playing outside with those machines?

Don't it like loose it's fun after the first or second time out?

Are the vintage models better then the new ones, like in audio equipment?

What do you do when it's not winter? Like will it throw dog shit from the sand?

Lefty :cool: :cool: :cool:

Kam how quickly we forget. The incident with the Toro was Jan 20/2003 accorcing to the archives. Maybe the shot to the head caused some short term memory loss??:D

I thought I had this one for the entire season last year.....maybe I didn't then :confused:

That was one heavy SOB though. This one, however, is heavier and badder :D

I'm gonna go to Home Depot and pick up the enclosed cabin for it, it's a three sided box that attaches to the handlebars that has windows. Some even have a windshield wiper :D
