What did you receive in the mail today for your Ranger?

[Big Blue]

I received my second Gator cover replacement under warranty. ??

Thank heavens! Something besides a discussion on colonoscopy.

I got my wonderful property tax bill.?

I like a cheap plastic shovel with a straight handle. I tried the bent handle ones but found it aggravated my herniated and degenerated discs more than a straight one. I also like a flat aluminum shovel for busting up icy spots. A cheapo plastic shovel (with wood handle) lats a few seasons and the plastic blade will start to ear down.

Of course, now that I'm a @AzScorpion graphene & damper fancy boy, I did just buy an electric Toro E24:

Electric snowblower is a "never again" purchase for me. $300 wasted (i bought the type that uses the same battery as my lawnmower - i've got a tiny lot).

Due to throwing capacity or ease of use?

I have a pain in the butt corded one I use for my 1000 sq ft deck and have been thinking of switching to battery. My neighbor has one that seems to throw pretty good and last quite a while on a charge.

not throwing capacity, but just capabilities. If it's over 3-4" it bogs down/stalls. Mine is only 40v, so perhaps some systems are better in that regard, but you end up having to split/angle the thrower up on deeper snow, and doing two passes. It's more work than shoveling.

I had a cheap corded one that had more power, which makes sense i suppose.

Thanks for the input, my corded one has the same problem so I usually bring my Ariens through the house to blow the deck.

I bet that’s met with applause.

Ariens ROCKS! I have a small single stage machine that I use much of the time. The rubber paddles clean the driveway incredibly well. When things get serious I fire up the 28" Ariens SHO. That thing will chuck snow 60 ft away.

I had to Google that to be sure...

Tracked snowblowers?!?!

And wheeled ones. But the tracked 9nes look the bestest.

I'm worried about that too and will only know after this winter.

I have an Ego mower, blower, string trimmer, and hedge trimmer. They work well but I've already had one small battery fail after 4 years.

But I now know to store them inside at about 50%, so I hope they last at least 6 or 7 years. At $350 for the Toro batteries, they better last.

I've got a corded Toro snow shovel that does a good job on 3-4 inches. I've done 12 inches but you have to pick it up and do it in layers, which is a back and shoulder killer.

Start your snowblower here.

 

[RedDakooter05]

I f'ing hate snow blowers. Always some stupid $1 part breaking on them and they are always "special order" bs.

I have been looking for a better solution for carrying water during day trips and for the upcoming camping season. No doubt the Rotopax kept popping up. I just cannot justify that price - with the “overland tax”. Then I stumbled upon the Dometic Go water/hydration system. That sure seems expensive for what it is. Ended up with the tried and true Scepter water container. 2x 20L, and 1x 10L.
