I have to pitch this lil puppy.

When I used to sub a few years back the side walk crews used these. I did try one out for a minute back then and was impressed.
Well now having my own shoveler in the truck I have been looking for one of these. Picked one up a couple weeks ago at Russo Power Equipment for $65.00
Well it got used this previous storm and this thing is the cats ass. We pushed up to about 3.5" of wet snow and you do work to move that much but it worked awesome.This isnt the answer for 4-5" plus(but then the Toro 3650 comes out). One site has horrible walks, you hit every fricken joint and curb edge with the regular snow pusher shovel. :mad: It really was bad news.
This thing glides over everything !
Monday night I scraped (3/4") and salted all the walks when I salted. The site with the bad walks has about 1000' of walkways 4-5' wide. I literely ran down them and was done in 5 minutes ! For seasonal contracts thats money in the bank for me :cash

It can't really scrape that well. there is no weight on the blade.

[T-Zab]

No it is definately not an ice scraper, I shouldnt have said scraped a 3/4" of snow. I Shoveled/pushed it off.
It wont scrape ice or hard pack by no means, any residual is burned off by the magic salt.:wink The walks never get bad though. Not tolerated on my accounts.
For clearing an 1" or 3" of snow off really fast its hands down the fastest and easiest (no wrist busters) manual device I have ever used.

i have two of them . for light snow its easier than pulling out the toro.

I did the walks at one bank again last night, flew threw it again. If I had to shovel I wouldnt do it LOL
I would bring a shoveler. I will be picking up another one when I get a chance.

I wonder how it would work on a pond? Been thinking about it since we talked, Todd and I got sick of shoveling my pond off.

Any chance wings could be added? :blizzard

Yep wings would work !

Mark, if you skate (Hope so your from Mi) you will be the King of the pond. Strap on your skates and clear it in minutes :wink This would really work awesome.
If ya break a sweat and get chilled call in Renda's friend sheep

The Wooden Shoe Plowers Club will know this, have you heard of Hans Brinker? Well, I ain't him, but yes I can skate.

Breaking a sweat wasn't the issue, breaking the ice was. The guys are waiting to here "The rest of the Story" in the Pics of your Fleet thread. Think I'll make them wait a little longer.

Peter was about ready to call the Coast Guard and the nearest Hovercraft when I told him, but all was well.

Hey Mark- why don't you just use the skidsteer to clear the snow off the pond?

Come on, everybody knows SS's don't have any traction on ice. :rolleyes:

Maybe I missed this just scanning through, but how WIDE is the blade. Been thinking about getting one, but can't find any info on blade width.

Thank You!!
