Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

General BS forum I guess anything is fair game in here. Just watch the subject matter doesn't get carried away too much. |

New Battery Snow Blower
I bought a Toro battery operated snow blower with 7.5 ah battery. Dec 1st we got nailed. 14.4 in of snow and very wet. In fact it rained 4 to 5 hours straight before snow came.
I had to set it to maximum power because snow was so heavy. I did my 4 car driveway and about 60 feet of sidewalks and it performed great. In fact it was closer to 20 inches on sidewalks from drifting. Getting that first strip done was a struggle but after that I did 3/4 paths and it was shooting it 8 feet away and bottom 3 inches was pure water.
Light enough I can pick up and put into basement.
This thing would have done 8 to 10 inches of dryer snow with half the battery. You could snow blow at 2 am and not wake anyone up. It really got challenged on first use. Wife was happy because I was not nearly as worn out after using it compared to shovel.

Yeah, battery powered tools have really come a long way. I have a bunch of the EGO brand, and everything works really well on their batteries. Matter of fact, in a lot of cases, I will run out of juice long before the battery does.

We got 6 to 7 inches of powdery snow Christmas Eve and Christmas. I was able to use battery snow blower and do my driveway and sidewalks and my neighbors on one full charge. So far I am very impressed with it. Then work called and said for me to come in for snow on Christmas. 4 hours at double time. First time in 30 years. An hour and a half of that was driving time.

Definitely easier on back heart, lol. Light also. I'm going to get the toro lawn mower in spring. It comes with 6 ah battery. Then I'll have 2 batteries to use year round. I could have used another battery on that first snow storm.
