Be interesting to see how they hold up-in particular the trans.It looks to me they buy a couple every year, Last year they totaled two singled axle trucks with the sneakers in the air.

rsb502 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Ok snow removal guru's, I got a couple for ya! How do you charge for cleaning up commercial parking lots like auto parts stores and fast food restaurants? What are the pros/con's to steel vs composite cutting edges and does anyone have a Gator 825i with a plow and how well does it work?

burnstransport Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 That old Walter come from an airport maybe? I've heard of them being popular at the smaller airfields years ago. My dad had the chance to drive one back in the 70's at the small airport he flew out of in the Berkshires.

Red Horse Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Wow- 300 acres = 13,050,000 sq ft. Assuming you have a 12' pusher on that Hyundai, 13,050,000/12=1,087,500 lineal ft or 205 miles of "lane". What is your secret? Typo in the 300? or is it a tank farm of 300 acres and you do the road network in that farm?

Typo in the 300? or is it a tank farm of 300 acres and you do the road network in that farm?I neglected to mention that a lot of that lot is filled with oil field equipment and trucks and trailers. Its not a fully wide open 300 acres. Sometimes there are even trucks parked in the middle of the lot. Yes that Hyundai struggles pushing the heavy snow as far as i have to push it at times. It is not an easy lot to plow but after 4 years of plowing it I have figured out tricks.

other dog Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 My "snow blower"- looks just like my leaf blower.Didn't do a bad job though, beats my old square point shovel.I blew the pickup off at first, it's still snowing and it looks like a little sleet mixed in it now so I won't be able to blow the sleet away, but that little bit should make it easier to get out. The highway hasn't been touched of course. And I was going to drive the blue truck home, but I decided at the last minute to drive the blue one because I had planned to leave last night.

Popular Post pointychops Posted February 15, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 15, 2016 Our 1940 Ford Marmon Herrington conversion w/ a Sno Go Blower. The blower is powered by an International 6 of the same vintage. My plan for now is to make both engines at least run so I can see what we've got.
