I have one of thoe Snw Joe 15A snow blowers, it's sufficient for now for MD snow, it chugs along if you don't clog it, with too much snow you have take top 5-6" off at a time. But I would love to see what you have, the 3Hp 240V 35A model. Now that I have a NEMA 14-50 in the garage, I could see myself potentially getting the powerful one. Do you have pictures of yours or a video?
No pictures although there were utube videos of the CASE 24 " DUAL INPUT AUGER snowblower online (with a 7 HP Kohler engine). But can't find it now. Mine works similarly except with mine there is no engine noise. Like a motorcycle - power is taken from the electric motor with a 10 tooth #42 pinion sprocket and single chain drive- no clutch necessary since if I want to stop the augur I just kill the motor. The transmission already has a neutral position for the power drive. No v-belts anywhere... My unit was made in 1970 by Roper (the oven people) for CASE. I guess I'll have to make a video of it.
Here's a Youtube video of 2 Case w724's (like mine - except with the original Tecumseh 7 hp gas engine) - everything else is the same - of course these have clutch pinions at the engine where I just have a simple sprocket since it is so easy to flip the power switch.
Definitely not. Get solar panels for the apocalypse. Or an ethanol-based generator. Sell it. Wear dark glasses and look dangerous. How kind of you. He can do it! Snow Joe iON8024-XR 24-In 80 Volt 2-Stage Cordless 4 Speed Snow Blower Power+ Snow Blower with Peak Power™ ...they're getting better each year though. There's something to be said for waiting; every year I see configurations with higher power.
Almost didn’t click but saw all the feedback so figured what the heck. Loved it as much as I love driving my Model 3. Clicked on your YT link last and perfect ending to the post! Feel the same way about our cars. Just best ever. LOL after realizing how old this thread is. Had my Model 3 for over a year now but still feels like it’s new and still just as fun to drive.
Point #1 reminds me of all the smug ICEers who ask "what do you do when the power goes out?" Don't the gasoline pumps run on... what's that called... oh yeah, electricity!
Just FYI- I got this last year... its not a Tesla but here's your autopilot lawn mower: Landroid Choose Landroid
Pretty funny, you totally got me on #8. When I fill my gas cans, I always park at the pump and open the charge port first and stand there with the gas nozzle a second....
If it were me, I would pull up first and take the handle off the pump and walk up and down the side of the car, no less than 10 times, pressing on the panels and looking for the gas tank door, just to watch people's faces. Then I would go get the can to fill up.
