Well worth feeling a little silly
Today's 8" storm officially heralded in my second season using the Wovel, and I was reminded exactly how remarkable this silly-looking contraption is.My house is one of four homes on a very small private street. Since we're responsible for our own snow removal, we co-own a large snow blower and... -
Better than a snow blower
Pros:The Wovel makes for fast, easy and efficient removal of snow. I can clear my drive faster with the Wovel than my neighbors can using their snow blowers (and it seems that they work harder trying, wrestling their snow blowers!). The folding design of the Sno Wovel is wonderful! It only takes...
I have a chance to purchase a 1967 Bolens 850 Tractor.
It has an 8.5 wisconsin engine and runs good
It comes with snow blower,garden tiller,extra engine,transmission,plow blade.
Can't tell you the value of the tractor but if it needs any work at all, be careful. Unless you are pretty good at running down parts. My cousin has an old Bolens that sounds similar. Has a bunch of attachments etc.

Green Isle woman invents RotNot, a plastic step stool for picture perfect ...
GREEN ISLE — A Green Isle woman figured out how to ease some gardeners’ melon-choly.
Chris Schroeder’s noticed the melons in her garden weren’t always picture perfect. Bugs, grubs and assorted underside yuck saw to that.
So she came up with RotNot.
Resembling a miniature plastic step stool, the perforated RotNot ensures the bottoms of pumpkins, squash, cantaloupes and other melons come out of the garden looking as good as the tops.
Schroeder, a Minnesota Department of Transportation snowplow driver, said her innovation actually was spurred by ignorance.
“The first year I started growing melons I didn’t know I was supposed to turn them, so when I picked them up (upon ripening) all the bellies fell out of them.”
She said rotating a subsequent crop had its shortcomings as well — vines broke when she moved fruit.
At first she used concrete blocks to keep them high and dry, but toting them did her in.
Snow Plow Blade For My Can-Am
Believe it or not, last year I saved up for a snow plow blade for my Can-AM. I actually made 1/3 of my money back by plowing for other people. Sure it was cold, but the feeling of my snow plow blade paying for itself helped warm me up. Well that, and a nice hot cup of coffee. I can’t wait for the first snow fall this year so that I can start making more money. My plan is to have this little side business, start funding all of the ATV stuff I buy. Plus I already have 3 more customers lined up this year. I hope to have almost the entire snow plow blade pay for itself this year.
$98000 snowplow simulators let drivers practice: Watch out for ...
The snow is virtual, but the white knuckles on the steering wheels are real.
That's the experience snowplow drivers and would-be snowplow drivers are getting on the Minnesota Department of Transportation's new snowplow simulators.
The $98,000 devices are replicas of snowplow cabs, with steering wheels, brake, accelerator and clutch pedals, gear shifts, ignition keys, turn signals and horns.
Three 42-inch flat plasma television screens play the role of the windshields and side windows. Dashboard controls adjust the virtual mirrors, strobe lights, snowplow blades and salt spreader. There's a knob to adjust a real dashboard ventilation fan. About the only thing missing is a coffee cup holder.
"I've been asked about that," said Bradley Swartz, a MnDOT employee who helps train drivers on the simulator.
With the help of a bank of computers, the simulator allows drivers to practice hundreds of plowing scenarios, from mountain two-laners to interstate highways to built-up urban areas, in bright sunlight as well as nighttime blizzards.
The computers can be dialed up to provide a menu of hazards from glare ice to high winds.
If the driver steers too far to the side of the road, he'll feel the steering wheel vibrate because he's strayed onto a rumble strip. If he seems to get a little complacent, the trainers can tell the computers to simulate a blown tire. If a student fails to notice the warning light showing the brake's air pressure system has blown, eventually the wheels will start to smoke and the engine will overheat.
"We put a little pressure on them," said Andrew Kubista, coordinator of the simulator program. "One thing we always utilize is a deer jumping out of the ditch."
"I can throw the kitchen sink at them. Everything short of a hurricane," Swartz said.
"We can do a hurricane too," Kubista said.
And the simulator programmers haven't forgotten the most dangerous hazard of all: other people. A simulator session is likely to include...
