Cool I'm doing my part to keep the snow away
I just purchased a soft top cab, an IH Wind Breaker for my cub cadet that see snow duty. I made a road trip to NJ today and picked this up. ( his pictures from the ad )

I'll put up pics after I get it mounted on my 125 with the snow thrower.

Between you with this, and Jeff with the snowplow, you've pretty much guaranteed global warming this year. Power companies will hate you.

I hope you don't asphyxiate yourself with the exhaust from that old tractor bud. Make sure it well ventilated.....needs a sound system.

How many HP is it?

It will get plenty of fresh air as the cab is far from air tight

No sound system needed as I wear ear plugs when I run it.

12 hp hydrostatic drive and it'll power a 42" single stage snow thrower

From last year

See that first pass that already been done? THAT is the entire reason for the soft cab. The wind always comes down the driveway and covers me in snow.

Got about 6" Saturday night, and all I had was a shovel because my household goods were being delivered today. Have my blower now, with 6 more inches coming. That's good because they only got about 2/3 delivered and nothing assembled. Should be a fun day tomorrow...

Colorado Springs. Been a snowy year already. We built at about 7600 feet, so it's a bit expected, but this year has come very early. At least it's a dry snow

I just changed the oil in my Honda snowblower so maybe that will help to ward off snow.

I've done half of my part by buying a new snowmobile trailer. I'll be doing the other half later this week when I pick up my new snowmobile.
