Every 3 hours ?
Pffft ,,,,, Amateurs ... lol
Dan I have had a DOT inspector get pissed at a grader operator when ice was left on a road and told the operator he did not know why he didnt get it all in one pass. Operator calmly told him to stand there and backed up about 600'. He started forward snatching gears with the front end 2' in the air on that 12H. He did lay the board back enough that as he came by the inspector in 4th gear... the inspector was covered in shaved ice. He hit the brakes and asked "any questions?"


Requirements to do stupid stuff like that is heck on equipment. People down here think you can just pop ice right off the road.

Jimmy, rock salt works wonders on ìce.
Serrated cutting edge is best for ice .

I bought some HD hardened edges two years ago. 1" thick instead of 5/8 and 11" tall instead of 6". Operators looked horrified and shop manager insisted it would destroy the machine. He torched them 2 hrs after I dropped them off. Cut up $400 worth of edges just for spite. I quit trying to help.

Put new plywood doors on the wood house today, coated them with that green stuff we used to call Pentox, got that done by lunch time, then went and got enough dry spruce to completely re fill the woodhouse and my inside woodbox. Got as much firewood now as I did when originally started burning a couple months now, more I burn the more I bring home....LOL
