2007 - 2008 snow plowing thread.
Re: 2007 - 2008 snow plowing thread.
I "plowed" all of the 3" of snow in about 5 minutes. I had my wife take my pic because I thought it might amuse someone. I'm glad you liked it.

Re: 2007 - 2008 snow plowing thread.
LOL ....I started a thread asking who it was that use to spot all the things in the backgrounds of pics...no bites!
I put in a shot with very little van showing,but figured someone would notice the MB wagon ...nothing still.
Then I start on Dean and he comes up with the two plant hangers...which was too funny...and finally it was too much when I had old crazy Sandflea thinking it was the lift that's been in for a couple of years....again lol. So when the camper post started the other day,I thought it best to come clean.
My origional idea was to come to NECO with it ,but I don't think the snow will melt much before the end of May the rate we're going. Another 6" tonight... #-o
It's a '97 Safari AWD with 136,000 and a loud knock(same exact mileage my '99 went) other than that pretty clean everything works and leather.
Plan is maybe V8 little lift 3" paint lower half and set up for cross crountry travel!

Re: 2007 - 2008 snow plowing thread.
Darn it. I saw that little bit of van sticking out and was going to say something but the high top threw me so I wasn't 100% sure it was a Safari. #-o
98 Safari RWD. Stock.

Re: 2007 - 2008 snow plowing thread.
Ok ,enough snow!! =; I am running out of room to put it.
As you can see from this shot, I was stacking snow a good 15' or so from where I now am able to push it.
I hope things start to melt a little this month. Starting to get some creeks and clicks from under the front of the van but it hasn't been exactly warm enough to get under there and find exactly what is making noise.
I am a very conservative plower and don't treat the van hard,but plowing certainly is probably the most rigorous duty called upon for these vehicles to do.This year has been a bonus year ta boot!
Come on March!

Re: 2007 - 2008 snow plowing thread.
My son was shoveling some snow on our drive while the neighbor had his blower out. Drew turned to me and said "dad, we need one of those" I said to him "we do, you're holding it and it's name is Drew" ...he wasn't amused. Sad part is, I have a 40" blower on a tractor out back, with 4x4's and only 2-3" of snow,...it'll melt!!!!!
Nice pics of plows, but you all can keep the snow!!!

Re: 2007 - 2008 snow plowing thread.
Well, this is about the best I can offer.... I think the 3 1/2 hr drive to cleveland for a free tractor( not one in pic, older one) and blower was worth it! Good thing I only need it once or twice a year.
