I still haven’t had enough snow this year to get the plow out. 😢 Maybe we’ll get a late season blizzard in March. Then I’ll need a loader.

Steve hours lol

And an inch-and-a-half may not seem like much, but in the more temperate areas that do get some snow, if you don't do something and you just let it sit there, it will pack down and when the sun shines on it, it starts to melt, but it will turn into ice. Very slick slightly uneven ice that is hard to negotiate walking on.

Gravely made great tractors...had a 816 and have an L model and now a zero turn.

That is awesome your tractor starts right up and sounds good too thank you for the video

Way to go Ralph I did the exact same thing with pushing the mounds back so as to make room for Monday, Tuesday and Thursday..... only difference was I used my Wheel Horse GT14. Be safe be well and always ckk you put you cap, oil filler stick and Misc. tools away before turning the key ....... ask me how I know! Rob

I try to keep close to 5 gal of gas in the tank to add weight to the front wheels for steering. I also have 75 lb of JD slab weights up front. PaulL

Nice Ralph! Looking forward to Sunday and next week! Punxsutawney Phil did good this year finally!

Sometimes you just want a basic truck with a stick. I plowed 4-5" today in MI with my 8163-T. It was so dry it's kind of like plowing water. It just spills everywhere and takes forever to clean up. Wouldn't mind if it was just a bit wetter. I'm glad you saved the gas cap!

Was this the 6th? Near Kent got abt 3 n ice mix. U better get gasoline soon. 6-10" for dutchess cnty 4cast the sat nite B4 super bowl then more next week

Wheel Horse is sad :(

I see a relatively new looking Nelson muffler - where did you get your hands on that?

Love seeing these good old machines working. What did that playhouse ever do to you?😂 Thanks for sharing and have a great blessed day.

In Pennsylvania you were supposed to get some ice and snow I guess tomorrow Gus of wind 30 to 40 mph hopefully I don't get mine basement got so cold it froze our sewer line and crack anyway thank you for the video

If he sees his shadow, we get 6 more weeks of Winter. If he does not see his shadow, Spring is just 6 weeks away.

5:15 it's a good thing no one was home when you hit that house;. lol

More snow coming tomorrow!

Nice score on the chainsaws. I recently picked up a McCulloch Power Mac 310 top handle saw that brings my count to four. PaulL

Good thing it was nothing worse, take care and be safe!

Look like it'd be a nice chainsaw thank you for the video

Hey Ralph. Keep me in mind if you ever want to sell that jonsred 90, I might have a friend who is interested.

I had a Jonesred saw years ago, it worked fine it wasn't as big as the one you have, it had heated handle bars,, man those folks didn't mind spending money on their Christmas display,

Good afternoon. I live in Connecticut and have a gravely walk behind I got in a package deal and want to get rid of it for a good price.

3:50 it kinda hard to hear. For this part.

What is the locomotive history.

Good evening. I also live in Connecticut I recently picked up a Gravely walk behind in a package deal and looking to get rid of it for a cheap price. If interested please contact me.

You can call carhartt and they will send you a replacement zipper for free. Thanks for the vid on how to repair it.

Your tractor plow snow pretty darn good thank you for the video

I used my old 4 wheel Gravely to push 11 inches here in Ohio. Has the Onan twin engine on it. Needs some work on it but very hard to find parts for it now. The thing runs like a new one though.

May your chains stay bright with regular use this winter. Gravely blades are very efficient and quick. Wife made me buy a shed this year because I had them parked all over the yard as well.

We both got a ridiculous storm. I think they got more snow than us in Florida LOL 😂

Lol, shoulda had wifey commenting on the inches or rather lack of. "was hoping for 7-8 only got 3.5, what a joke" 😂

I think I need to look for a plow for my Gravely rider. Thanks for sharing and try to stay warm.

Nice! Fired right up!

B/S is a good engine as I have a 8163B but in my experience it’s a second fiddle to the Kohler K series. Hard to think but I believe we got more snow here in W. Va. then you got in Wisconsin. Normally our winters are very mild but we got at least 10-12”s. I love them ole Gravelys.

Same amount of snow here, Ralph, near Hartford in north central CT. Prediction was 4 to 8, got about 3.5. Lame. I thought about you getting mad at the weatherman. Lol

I know you didn't have much snow, but do you have fluid in your tires?

A happy guy when the snow falls.

I made a path like that for my coal ashes at the end of my yard also 👍✅🔥

Choakers here in south western Ct. All these YT weather people called this an historic storm. Ya historic alright. Just about 2" down here.

Yeah, I use my Briggs machine for mowing 😎👍 the old 16 hp doesn’t get fired up in the winter ❄️ 😊

That's a COLD start!! My 8163B is set up the same way, with the snow plow. The PTO clutch needs service, but otherwise the tractor runs great. Same start up pattern too: crank once, pause, then fires on the second crank, no matter the season. Thanks for sharing!

Cold overnight is when you can put a minus sign in front of the number 🥶 If you jam two nuts together on a stud you can turn it in and out without a vise grip on the threads. I use a scissor jack under the hitch for alignment. Brake cleaner can make some plastics brittle, carb cleaner not so much. Glad you got all of them going. PaulL

James here from NC, once again living vicariously through you. Keep up the good work! I loved hearing that commercial 12 fire up.

I'm glad you got it running thank you for the video

Ugh was hoping forecast wood b wrong again. That walmart never has milk when I'm there. Aldi 4 the win. Sun am was really nice! snow started abt 330 for me. Just got carb back on & install plow on my C. If u need more bolts let me know. I got bulk from Fastenal in Bethel

Looks like you will be ready. I just dropped a short snowblowing with my 8179 Commercial rider. Have a great and blessed day.

I got a commercial 12 that hasn’t run in a long time, I took the engine out of it and it looks good just have to wire it again last owner took all the wiring out

Nice job getting the tractors ready. Good luck today 🔧👍

Cool video ! I just cut the blue ring terminals to make those hook ones with a pair of side cutters
