How many times this winter did you get the beast out?

We are smack in the middle of February and here in Montreal Quebec Canada , i've only taken the toro out twice. Talk about no snow. Seems when I was a young lad growing up in the 70's and early 80' s we had so much more snow. Have you guys used your machines much this year? I've used more wd40 and oil than gas  Cheers Jim |

well here in Nova scotia ... we have most of you beat. we got about 15 inches of very heavy wet snow in november really created havoc here ,took out most of the power in the entire province. then there were a few small dustings ..nothing significant till boxing day .then we got hammered. on monday we got 20 inches ,on wednesday we got 15 inches and finally on sunday we were blessed with another 20 inches. all in one week...yikes we were workiny like crazy to clean up our own mess and on top of that ,i work as a ope mechanic...and as you can imagine we were busy.we sold out of our entire repair parts in about a day .and because all the other shops in eastern canada were faced with the same sort of snow ,getting more parts took a while. its almost a 2 months later and we are finally getting back to normal.ive been working saturdays all this time and i could finally take this one off...got some much needed sleep. i could handle anothere big snowstorm now ...they are good for business and we do have a couple of snowblowers left. later chris

In my area we had about 12 inches of white on 23 December, three storms since then about 4-6 inches. The Toro 726 has worked like a charm thus far. Maybe 2-4 inches coming 20 February, we'll see. AZ
