  • We had our first real snow for the winter right before Christmas. I needed to get my driveway open and also clear a big drift from my neighbors drive. Winter weather is just another part of Life in the 906! #uppermichigan #snowstorm snowstorm #Kubota

    Looks like snow blower is pretty much a must have in your area. My old man grew up in Minnapolice . When I was a kid I remember him talkin about not missin the snow & cold of winter , he met mom in Yellowstone park after war, she saw what winter was like in Minnasota they decided to raise their family in willamette valley w/45 " of rain a year, old man said he didn't mind rain as much as snow & cold of winter in Minn.

    I have never figured why people have the end of there blower shooting snow up in the air. The end of my shoot blows the snow back toward the ground away from where i have plowed. Has a lot less snow blowing back in my face. I have no cab and 3/8 mile driveway. But it's your video and I like to watch others Stay Safe

    • @Lifeinthe906
      @Lifeinthe906  Рік тому

      The angle of my blower is set at a higher angle to put the snow farther from the driveway. I don't worry about snow in my face with the cab on my tractor. Thanks for watching Eldon.
