Been super busy here also. I don't know when I would have time to fit in a GTG, but if you guys decide to have one, I'd make time to make it.

Hope everyone's summer is looking good so far!

It's actually a different tractor. I sold the 210 with snowblower last fall after I picked up this 317 (with Onan 18hp twin).

Are you still interested in my Dodge Cummins? Shoot me a PM!

No. But buying a new truck might do that to a guy

Edit: I do have a reminder on my phone to start working on snow contracts this week, but every time its gone off I change the date for the next day, lol. Probably get started this weekend....

You keepin busy this summer snocrete? Been awful slow for us. Rain is definately helping.

Thomas.Creation · #**753** 08-15-2012, 09:27 PM

Yeah Mike so I guess Nick told you. I'll be in a 02 Duramax with an 8 1/2 strait western, and the Daniels of course. I got tired of the 1/2 ton and decided to man up a bit. I need to go through the western and get it mounted up. It didn't come with the truck.

Sounds nice Tom! Congrats. Have to get 2gether and have a few beers sometime so I can check it out.

Snow is starting to creep into my mind.

Might be taking on a bunch of accounts this year. We'll see though if I want to have the hassles subbing out a bunch of work and or leasing a loader this year.

All comes down to numbers I guess.

Regardless, I'm thinking a pre-wetting system this year to hopefully save on salt. That and if this coming season is like last year, most of the snow will be light and dry and it seemed like it took too much salt to burn off a lot properly, thus leaving a gravel drive behind.

I'm actually looking at going the other way... My contract is up on the school i did the last three seasons, so I want to focus on smaller and closer stuff.

You're right though, it's getting time to get serious about it. The way this year has been going, we will probably see snow in October....

Just bought a new 1995 Chevy 1500 with a Meyer snow plow. I got two set ups now and will be looking for more work.
