IRISH BULL Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 Obviously not now, during the snow blower season. But I wanna get a jump on when they start coming down on price. Because I know they go fast. Plus, which store probably has the best deals? This last snow fall here in Chicago knocked mine outta commision. Quote
[-VR-] Tool_Minion Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 IDK but I'm so getting one this spring. Quote
Pillorian Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 As soon as the temps hit about 60*F... Quote
Nemesis Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 IDK but I'm so getting one this spring. Me 2. Quote
IRISH BULL Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Posted February 3, 2011 As soon as the temps hit about 60*F... That's when they start putting them on sale? Do you know first hand, or are you making an educated guess. Snow is a BITCH! That is so frackin true. I have a two car drivway. But I gave up about half way down and now it's a one car driveway.

xPUDDYTATx Posted February 4, 2011 Report Posted February 4, 2011 about april in most places. stores will begin to clear out most all their winter only inventory. dont want higher priced items like snowblowers sittin all summer, so they price em down and try to push em out the door. watch weekly ad fliers for other winter only items and when you start to see other things of the same nature, start lookin around for your snowblower. most places wont advrtise them on sale, but they will other items they need to clear out Quote
BLACKCLOUD-- Posted February 4, 2011 Report Posted February 4, 2011 HMM. I wonder what snow blowers are going for in some where like say...Florida. LOL Quote
DK_DevilJack Posted February 4, 2011 Report Posted February 4, 2011 I hope you get one soon..so the snow stops! Quote
Prane Posted February 4, 2011 Report Posted February 4, 2011 I know a ton of people who's snowblowers got killed from this damn storm in Chicago. Quote
Guest Attitude Posted February 4, 2011 Report Posted February 4, 2011 I have a feeling that this last snow in Chicago just wiped out all the stores inventories. I can't see a store re-ordering snowblowers in February especially now that the Groundhog didn't see his shadow this year (early spring). You might find your best deal next fall. And for your double drive corner lot, don't get anything less then a two stage 9 horse with a minimunm of a 29 inch path auger, not paddle. Electric start is a must with the bigger motors in the cold. If you don't get it, you'll be pissed off and tired when you've worked up a sweat before you've even started. They run about $600 for a decent one $1000 for top of the line. Go big or go home! Best fuc*ing winter investment you can make. This last snow, I was done with my property from start-up to shut down in under 20 minutes and you've seen my driveway. Quote
[-VR-] Tool_Minion Posted February 4, 2011 Report Posted February 4, 2011 I have a shitty driveway that the previous owners DIDN'T fix the concrete, instead asphalted it. Its wavy as shit, and I am curious what would work best for it. It will probably be another 3 years before I replace it, so keeping that in mind...I'm taking suggestions. PS: I also have quite a few elderly neighbors that I take care of their driveways and sidewalks. They all have very flat concrete drives. Quote

You and Irish move somewhere warmer so you dont have to worry about snow. Just sand. Quote
[-VR-] Tool_Minion Posted February 4, 2011 Report Posted February 4, 2011 LMAO, I want to move to San Diego, the wife won't go without her entire fucking family. Believe me when I say I tried. Quote
BIGDANIEL Posted February 4, 2011 Report Posted February 4, 2011 Well I dont know about Cali but Florida is rocking right now. Last month we were the only state to not have snow and for the past week and a half I've had the windows and sliders open (thinking about going for a swim today) enjoying the mid to high 70's while most everyone else I know is stuck inside because of too much snow and cold. Get her complaining about the cold and snow and then get her to hate the cold and snow. She'll go then. Quote
IRISH BULL Posted February 4, 2011 Author Report Posted February 4, 2011 LMAO, I want to move to San Diego, the wife won't go without her entire fucking family. Believe me when I say I tried. I'm in the same boat. I wanna move to AZ. Quote

BigMoneyNacku Posted February 6, 2011 Report Staff Posted February 6, 2011 buy a 4 wheeler and put a plow on it!!! That's what I'm doing for next year. Even with a snowblower now, my driveway sucks to plow. Quote
Guest Attitude Posted February 7, 2011 Report Posted February 7, 2011 Come. Join the SoCal side of the Force. I sure hope these pictures you used are from July and not as recent as Jan or Feb, otherwise I would think your being mean seeing as though we are buried in 2 1/2 feet of snow here right now! Quote
willywonka159 Posted February 8, 2011 Report Posted February 8, 2011 Well, last summer, yeah. Sure it'll rain in the winter a few times, but it still looks just like that almost everyday here in January - February. Quote
IRISH BULL Posted February 8, 2011 Author Report Posted February 8, 2011 I actually did some checking myself on the snowblower I thought took a crap. It didn't. The belt broke from this heavy snow and the blades needed replacing. I'm right as rain after about $60 in parts. Quote
