Ah yes. I could do with a F-150. But not a new one.

One more Unimog with a snowblower video. Then done with all that snow.

Our village of 2,000 people owns two of these - they stay pretty busy all winter long - We also have two big 6 wheel drive graders with front, bottom and wing plows. 276 inches / 7m+ last winter.

It is almost a month early this year, but snow fell and stayed in the last week of October. Our friends in north-western Ontario are sending nearly a foot / 30cm more snow starting tomorrow afternoon.

I guess we made a very good decision this year. We purchased a travel trailer and had it shipped to a park in central Texas (Hill Country). My wife retired and if I have Internet, I can work anywhere. We are headed south right after the holidays!

10 + grand more than a mustang where I live. A 1 ton diesel well equipped, USD 70K, give or take.

Bikini or Brazilian?
Enquiring minds want to know.

On second thought, never mind.

Lycra!

Lawnmowers work too, since we're on the subject.

Your rash is more than likely from the lycra, just a guess.

Well with 3 blades, and signage designating it is for "LAWN GRASS ONLY", it ain't no brush hog.

And at 6 feet wide, it's ~~big~~ huge. Every two passes covers nearly twelve feet, four passes is almost twenty four feet. So down and back twice covers about what city dwellers have, maybe more.

One pass would do my lawn.
Okay, maybe 2 passes.

Sad and shocking news, Jim. I thought that you were indestructible. Please keep the stories coming as long as possible.

No, no good at all. It would be hard on the mount.
