Last winter was the first that I had the ET. I had never moved snow with
anything but a shovel. At the first big snow, I went out to the garage
and wrestled the snow thrower onto the tractor. I drove it 5 feet out of
the garage and the thrower clogged.

Stopped; Cleared the chute; Went another 5 feet;

Returned to garage;
Removed snow thrower;
Put the blade on;
Cleared driveway;
exit(OK);
/* <g> */
Someday I'll try sandblasting and repainting the rusty snow thrower. For
now, the blade works ~great~. And next to the flimsy gas tractor and
blade that the guy round the corner uses, the ET and its 4-foot blade
looks like something the road crews would be at home with.
