Re: [MBZ] OT Snow blowers
A quick google search seems to indicate that a lot of the new ones have power steering. Don't know that I would worry about getting one with tracks instead of tires. Get chains and it should be fine. The tires on the newer ones are generally larger than they were on the older ones that helps.

Fred Moir.Lynn MA.Diesel preferred. Fred, Read this. some insight, but no clear answer. Hatz Diesel engine conversion idea is interesting for us Dieselfolk I see airens makes some with tracks, but I didn't see anything about steering. The big old whirlwind (36 to 42 single blade) and similar mowers from the 40s and 50s had the sulky seat you rode on, as in the one post. I think it was hard work to steer them from the seat, but I never ran one. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Hire someone. Move south. --R I think this may be the better solution. You can hire a lot of kids to shovel for the $2,000+ they want for a tracked snowblower. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] OT Snow blowers
Make sure its steerable. A friend has a Honda machine which will eat through any snow but is a bear to steer. -Curt From: Fred Moir via Mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Cc: Fred Moir fredh.s...@hotmail.com Sent: Wednesday, August 26, 2015 3:56 PM Subject: [MBZ] OT Snow blowers Alles.I'm in the market for a new snowblower and a tracked, steerable one seem to be what I need.Last winter whilst I struggled to use the olde Ariens that I have had, lo these many years, I discovered that my old muscles ain't what they used to be.Recommendations?
