First is this snowblower attachment, we'd be lost without it especially with this job, 5 DED elms to remove.

Re: Got me some toys!
I picked up that little Thomas mini from my buddy Dave, it'll make a great backup machine.

I am almost in the market for a mini, that was a good buy, Jim. Did you get the grapple with it?

Me too, Just ordered up a Grapple for our loader from Dave. He said he was moving some snow today. By your pictures he sure wasn't kidding

We got some snow Cam, suppose to get another shot tomorrow, hope it'll hold off.

Re: Got me some toys!
NICE TOYS!!! CONGRATS!!!
FWIW ... if you haven't already, I can recommend making some chains for the back wheels ... easy to make ... $$$ to buy. Skid-steer's are terrible on ice!!!

Re: Got me some toys!
I don't think I'll use the snowblower on the Thomas, unless it's my only option. The Gehl's articulated and works excellent for blowing snow. I found that attachment on Craigslist in Boston, $1400, new they sell for about $3600. Kicks a$$ over the ol' snow bucket that's fer sure.

We have the cold just no snow here. Hope it stays that way. It was in the low 20s today with a wind chill of 4. Just not use to it so early, this is more like January and february. Heat wasn't working in the new crane today, I think the diesel may have gelled for the heater.

Re: Got me some toys!
So far how do you feel about the Gehl? Is it the 140? Which unit do you think you will use more? The reason I ask is that we are in the market for a second mini or Gehl. Thanks Jim.

I'm surprised we don't see more guys using snowblower attachments. Took me all of about 15 minutes to open up for that job. Snow bucket would've probably taken 'bout an hour and half.

I almost bought a new 140 Mark, just didn't want a loan right now. I have the AL 20, I think the 140 is an awesome loader... just more than I want to pay right now.
Oh, the Gehl is still by far the better loader for me but they both have their advantages.

Re: Got me some toys!
Gotcha. So the one in the photo pulling the tree out is articulating, but not the 140? What is the difference do you think?
