Sold my snow blower.......

[Flappn]

buy the wife a shovel! My wife does not know what a shovel is, she cut the lawn for the first time in 30 years last year perhaps I will introduce her to Mr.Shovel.

 

Good luck with your shoveling.

You can put the uShovel next to iRon and iRoningpad, that will get you cookies.

I live in Barrie and use the trusted shovel all year. Sucks.

Well, I've got a nearly new Toro sitting here, infact it's only been used twice and is still under full warranty, but after cleaning up the last snowfall I can't use it anymore because the handle that controls the chute is outta whack now and I can't aim it anymore.

 

I called the Toro dealership today and they said they'll come and pick it up and repair it under warranty , but to do that and then return it to me will cost me $100 which I'm certainly not gonna pay.

 

I had to load it into the back of the pick-up this afternoon, which wasn't easy by myself seeing as it weighs 222 pounds, and tomorrow I'll make the 40 mile round trip to drop it off.

 

They said it'll take about a week to fix it...if they've got the parts....then I'll have to do another 40 mile round trip to pick it up.

 

Sure hope winter doesn't get nasty for a week or so

My dad always told me "Never throw away your old sock's until you have a new ones"

[Twocoda]

the things a guy does to appreciate a new tool when it arrives...Happy Shovelling!!!

I had enough lumber to jerry rig a ramp today but the 10 footers were already on tomorrows shopping list.

[Billy Bob]

Jingle Bells, Santa Smells and I'm sick of this friggin snow every friggen day.....ENOUGH already...

[mercman]

mine works fine now, after sucking up 100ft of extension cord buried in the snow, then chewing a hole in my car shelter door. Its been a really rough winter so far or i'm just a clutz

Looks like a typical Lancaster day there Billy Bob, My cousin lives there also and that's always the scene when we come for a visit...

 

Here's last weeks snowfall for us in London

(what a great time to be off work with an arm injury)

 

so far we've already exceeded last years snowfall total, although it was almost a record low last year....

 

just to the north and west of us they have gotten almost 6 ft of the stuff over the last week and a half.

[bigugli]

2 weeks back I was complaining about having lost my ability to putter around when I got rid of the house......

 

Today, I look at all the snow and ice you guys are dealing with. I smile and am now thankful to not have that chore any more

and I don't get my new one till Thur....and let me tell you....it's snowing like crazy in Tottenham, On right now...ugh.

 

What did you buy? Why?

[Flappn]

I have moved to a new place where the driveway is 4 times the size of my old one...and I had a little 22" 2 stage 189CC MTD...just didn't cut it. Sears had a sale on one of their Flag Ship blowers it's the CRAFTSMAN®/MD 305cc, 27'' Dual Stage Mid Frame Snow Blower...power steering(not really but close), hand warmers, hydrostatic drive...it's $1,499.00 regular price and I picked it up on sale for $999...me and 34 other people..ha ha so it arrives tomorrow...I hope.

 

A friend of mine told me not to sell my old unit till I got the new one...but someone made me an offer I couldn't refuse so it's gone.

$100 for "warranty" ???? pick up and delivery should be free while still under warranty !

 

Hopefully you have it back by the end of winter ! ... my experience with toro and service !

I had to go into town today to do some shopping so I dropped the Toro off on the way and they had the repair done in 15 minutes and it was ready to go again.

 

The Toro dealer is also a John Deere dealer and if there's waranty work to be done on my JD lawn tractor there's a $100 pick-up and delivery fee for that also.
