You should just buy them all 4x4's and be done with it

 

That's cheating

 

You hording parts like John?

 

Same here. I like that it keeps the snow from forming huge mounds on the edges/ end of the driveway so we can see what's coming down the road

 

or shovels

 

How do you convert a dishwasher into a snow blower?

Give her a shovel

 

Didn't see it, what page?

Ummmmmmmm.......

This, and see if it'll start. Maybe an oil change.

Not worth it, they'd nag you to death

After your wife slaps you, see above.

 

Unless your driveway takes you 15 minutes, I doubt it.
Unless we've got more than a foot of snow I can sweep the heater bank into the ditch in three pushes, then run the entire length of the driveway into the piles at the far end past the house. Usually takes 5-6 sweeps and I'm done, and when I have actual weight on the rear platform I can do it in high range.
The first storm last year I did it with my snowblower and it took me an hour and a half to clear 8 inches of snow.

With the Kubota I can do my driveway and my neighbor's in about 30 minutes, unless we REALLY get dumped on, and then it takes me closer to 45.

 

I forget I have them all.

I live on the cape never get snow more than 6". Having shovels my driveway in forever

 

Any excuse to play on the tractor.
I plowed the driveway the other day and we only got three inches, haha!

 

Ahhh, I assumed with that kind of equipment, you had a long ass driveway. Mine usually takes 20 - 30 minutes to do the driveway and all the walkways. Last year, when we got dumped on, it took about an hour.

I think my dad has the same Kubota tractor, just with a blade instead of the bucket. Thing is a tank, he's had it for 20 something years and has only replaced the tires and the clutch.

 

You must really like sleeping on the couch..

 

Ya I need to see if my new to me snow blower runs . It's never had gas in it so hopefully it fires right up . I don't have time to fuck around with it .
Closing on the house next Thursday

 

You will be hoarding parts in no time. All that new armor . You can start having some fun with that truck

 

Nah, my driveway's not huge, maybe 100 feet. I just like playing on tractors, haha.
We bought the house as a fixer upper, and the entire back lawn had been taken over by 3" saplings. There was no way in hell I was digging all those stumps out by hand, so I used that as an excuse to buy it. Then, since I already had it, I took the "it's already paid for; I might as well keep it around for doing the driveway during the winter" approach.
Plus, we've got about 3 acres, so it comes in handy a lot more than you'd expect. I converted most of the front yard into gardens this spring, and the tractor saved me a LOT of backaches.

 

And here's your new house. Did you bring a shovel?

 

It's like camping (plus the baby monitor isn't in the living room so I might actually get a full night of sleep out of it)

Congrats!

 

Congrats on the house! How big is the new driveway you'll be clearing?

 

Delivery guy must have loved me today...

 

Mine was done there last year. They didn't do a hood pin which I understand but I wish I had known.

The wiring work is a bit less neat than I would have preferred but I haven't had a hiccup with the unit so I would definitely recommend them. They did my GF and her sister's cars as well.

I went with the Viper 5704. Love it.
