Alright guys, snow this weekend. It's game time!!
 

For those that have been anxious to play in the white stuff, for us Northern Illinois residents, the time is nigh. Depending what weather you follow, it's going to be around 2"-5" (and more if the more dramatic models are to be believed). So get your winter coats out, get your Cubs gassed up and ready to go and post your pics here when you get em! :beerchug:

Heck I haven't even got the blade or thrower mounted yet. Been to busy working on my truck.

Ryan,
Dude.... you are outta your mind. :biggrin2:

I'll go hide under a rock all winter. I'm never as ready as you are to play in the snow. :Snooty: LOL. :beerchug:


As a side note, I'm hoping a meteor hits, the polar ice caps melt and we all party on the beach. :biggrin2::biggrin2:
Sam said he'd buy the first round of Scotch. :ThumbsUp:

I'm all ready, the BX is chained up and the plow is on it. It's cocktail hour and I'm on round 2. :beerchug:

I was waiting for you two to jump in :biggrin2: For the record, I come across more enthused about winter than I actually am. Don't get me wrong, I love playing inside a cab on a tractor in the snow...the first dozen times. But by the time winter is over, I'm sick and tired of being up at 4am to plow at work then turning around and working an 8+ hour day. I'm tired of loosing sleep, waking up every couple hours to check and see how much we got, etc.

That being said, I know snow is inevitable. So I try to have as much fun with it as I can and enjoy the ride! :beerchug:

It's cocktail hour and I'm on round 2. :beerchug:[/QUOTE]

Playing in the snow is always better after cocktail hour!

We won't get enough here in SE MI to amount to pushing I'm sure. Enough to be annoying but not enough to rouse the 147 from slumber.

That being said, I took it for a ride yesterday. Dumped some fuel stabilizer in the tank and had to work it through the carb. that's enough of an excuse for some backyard laps as any.

SNOW really! I just finished picking the last of my beans and tilled the garden in today. Now I have to get all the leaves up and turn the A/C off. It was 70's here in NC today. Lord who said the S word.:biggrin2:

We won't have to worry about snow here in NC. If we do the 982 can be ready fast. :biggrin2:

Supposed to get flurries or light snow Friday night, not supposed to stick! I hope not!!! I'm falling behind on stuff. Just finished mowing the field last sat, need to work on the house deck some and get the 1211 ready! I could use a cocktail too, or a dozen! Lol

Put my plow and thrower on my 782s this past weekend, installed my new power angle kit (I think I've found true happiness now) and installed the wheel weights on both tonight. We'll see how it goes. I've heard anywhere from 2-8" here.

Well I hope that you all that want snow get every inch you wish for this year.
As for myself, it can stay one square mile away from my place and I'll be a happy camper:beerchug:

No snow here yet but the 1811 is ready for it when it does come, the only thing I have left to do is get new oil lines made because the one leaks a little.

Love the 1811, hate the oil lines. I had one or two that did the same thing :bash2:

I knew the second I pulled the side cover off that the lines weren't gonna last long and I was right, I'm gonna take them off tonight so I can stop at the hydraulic shop on my way to work tomorrow.

I'm still mowing grass over here... Maybe I should have cut down on the fertilizer :biggrin2:

Hope I got enough salt for this winter!

I returbished this new to me qa36 and rebuilt and rebuilt and overhauled my 125 last spring. I gotta say... Bring on the snow!

The first snow of the season has started here in the Quad cities. I havnt got the blower on the 1863 yet but shes in the garage for first thing tomorrow morning. bring it on!

Nice job on the qa36, looks like your ready!!!
Nothing like blowing snow in style. :beerchug:

149 doing its thing
 

I haven't checked but must be 8in here since noon
Not too much stops the 149 with 250lb of me and chains. :biggrin2:
Pretty wet and heavy

Now that I see all that snow I'm not that excited about it lol

That is a nice setup!

You guys gotta stop. It's too early for that much snow. :angry::angry:

I just plowed my driveway, maybe 4" so far. Started snowing about 5:30. Buddy about 1/2 hr south has almost 8" already..

:biggrin2:
I think its early too but it's here anyway

Guys,
stop it,
I'm already depressed enough!!
Bah humbug!
oh wait, I don't have to mow it,it melts in the spring.:beerchug:

what are you doing up? isnt it past your bedtime?:biggrin2::biggrin2:

Send some this way! We're getting snow but it's not quite the 5-8" I expected. Thus far (after 3 hours), we've gotten an inch or so. Waaaa

Naw I nappped after putting the Snow thrower/Chains on the little 782
I didn't chain up the loader tractor just yet, them chains are a little bigger for the 15.5x38's.
Last couple of years, I didn't need em' anywhoo.
Then I Kicked back in the lazy boy, watched RFD TV, and got my "pre sleep":beerchug:
Funny, for 40+ years I worked midnights, it took me pert-neer 4 years to get back to sleeping @ night, after retirement.

Tell me that's a trailer queen and NOT what you intend to move snow with this year!:bigeyes:

Forgive my not understanding, as I am Southern to the core. Is all that salt/de-icer for your house, or are you clearing snow "for hire"? Makes me glad we just wait a couple days for it to melt.

I wish I needed that much last for my house! :bigeyes: No, that's my salt stockpile for work. I do snow removal for our sidewalks (and we've got a lot of em) so I usually order one pallet (about 50 bags) per winter. Usually gets me through with a few extra to start the next year. Darn southerners :biggrin2: :beerchug:

Snowing here in central Missouri!

33 and Sunny @ 9:40 AM in Galax :biggrin2:

Bas%$#@! :biggrin2: Been at it for about 4 hours clearing snow here. Through a salt spreader that fell apart, a tire that popped off the rim, and having to install another set of tires/rims, I made it through this one. Guess I got the bugs worked out of the system now :biggrin2:

I hope so. Cubs aren't made to be trailer queens. Work 'em.

You know, us Southerners spent the afternoon trimming shrubbery. Got hot enough I didn't even wear a coat. Just sayin......:biggrin2:

Believe me, I work mine, but I ain't about to make one that nice looking and go get it dirty! (At least that's the excuse I use not to bother painting mine)

Got my drive cleaned up. My twin stick 782 works pretty good but the S1 KT is really burning oil. Still it isn't getting run that hard so I can use it while I figure out what I'm going to do with the engine.

The red 782 has my QA42a on it. Mom called about 2 asking if I could go clear their drive so they can get her car out for church later. Drove the Cub over there & had the drive done in about a 1/2 hr. The KT in that one has some muscle behind it......We've got 10 inches of heavy, wet snow & it lugged down & kept throwing. I wasn't optimistic but now I'm impressed. Always seemed like Dad had trouble with his 1650/QA42a when I was growing up. Guess the extra jug in the KT helps.
