Desert_AIP said:How do you like that snow blower?
I've got an X320 and a 500' driveway and have been looking very hard at that bit of kit.
mikefamig said:I love it, it's a BEAST! It's the 47" model.
The blower was left in a field to rust and I bought and restored it. I stripped it, had it bead blasted and painted it with 2 part primer and topcoat. It was a simple restore with all of 5 bearings and 1 chain to replace and ended up costing less than half the price of new. Last winter was my first season with it.
The tractor is an x728 Deere , 27hp gas engine with all wheel drive and it will climb a snow bank at 45 degrees or so....probably steeper than I want to ride it.

It looks great in that photo, nice restore job.
I'd be limited to the 40" with my smaller tractor.
I have a fairly gentle slope.
Still it beats a walk behind or (ugh!) shovelling.

Here just utilize a one stage snowblower / service when it gets bad. Friend on a farm uses a regular tractor to clear the snow.
Thinking it would not be worth carrying the snowblower up to the deck to clear a path.
I've never heard of cooking the day before. I remember when we were kids fighting over the crispy skin while dad carved the bird right out of the oven. My wife says that's just wrong.pete_c said:Quickie cooking question relating to Thanksgiving turkey.
Here traditionally we cook turkey the morning of Thankgiving.
Sister-in-law cooks the turkey the day before Thanksgiving then puts it in turkey liquid the day of.
What are the preferences here in Internetlandia?
What is turkey liquid? It sounds like she's poaching it.
