I think I'm going to sell my rototiller (Troy-Bilt rear tine) and get a snow blower. I was talking to a buddy of mine yesterday, and I mentioned my plan to him. His parents' house is catty-corner from my backyard. His dad passed away a few years ago, and his mom is living with him now. He's in the process of selling his parents' house and he told me there's a 10 hp 2 stage snow blower in one of the sheds that he's willing to part with (maybe for free). If I get rid of the tiller, I'll have room to store it.

make sure to change oil. Use stabil in the gas.
Each fall, check the tension on the cables.

Is it the kind that weighs like 200lb and made of cast iron? I had one of those.

Yep, that makes sense. I'm pretty certain that once I get one, we'll have a multi-year snow drought, so I'll probably store it empty of fuel...

No, it's not that big! I think it's a Super Bronco.

Yeah, the one I had was a beast.

Went with some Vermont Sharp Cheddar from Aldi with some Townhouse crackers for the snack, btw.

Real uptown like.

I think our nextdoor neighbor had one of the great big ones when I was a kid. After Dad passed away, he used it to till Dad's old garden area (probably 50' x 75') so it could be seeded with grass and it made quick work of that.

I'm Aldi-fancy.

I can't even find one that looks as old as the one I had, but it was very similar to this.

 

[ancjr]

I was doing 60x140 with it.

We've got a playa in the house

I did 4 60ft rows of tomatoes one year. Yield was about 3 5 gallon buckets a day.

 

[ancjr]

I'd eat one like an apple while picking them.
