I wouldn't say it's super heavy (like wet you mean?). Mower just struggles as it piles against the blade, not a lot of weight behind it. Wish it had a little more of an angle. 

Just got in. Shoveled because I’m a jackass and lost the snowblower key. Thank God it wasn’t wet heavy slop.

6 to 7 in the ding as well. I went for a long walk with the touring rig and ended up the knob near 176.

The truckers are back out and going regular speeds so the majors must be ok but it's drifting hard.

Was it just the red plastic thing? You could have jammed anything non conductive in there.

 

Too hard to get a measurement here with the wind, prob min 6 tho

Yeah. The red plastic thing. I had two that magically disappeared . I didn’t think to shove anything in there.

All blue related majors right lane is at least totally clear. 78/22 are clean as a baby's butt. Worst thing you'll come across is trucks that didn't clear their roof and 4x blinker peeps.

MacArthur is the worst i came across they did the classic minor plow on the hills before the mall and then clean downhill two right lanes. Mad people spinning their tires trying to get up the like 3 hills. 

Clearly I overestimated the amount of traffic

Worst thing I came across was following the Sysco truck up Blue Mt drive. 🤣 My fervent wishing that they were delivering to BMDI did not come true, had to crawl behind him til he turned into the top lot.

I'm glad I'm not the only one praying for those types to turn, if they go by the top lot that's double punishment.

Mad people in my neighborhood complaining about Penndot but honestly I thought they have been money so far.

People on Facebook late morning were bitching about the roads and thought they were good.

Road salt doesn’t work below 15° . Also lots of drifting.

I did not think the roads were bad at all this morning. I drive all the way from Quakertown.

I'm thinking U shape under the blade, so the round sits on the ground and bottom of the blade sits in the U. Wire in one hole, up and over the blade, to the other hole, on each end. Allows the blade to glide on the gravel instead of digging it up

The well pipe had a 2 hour lifespan before it wore through. Maybe ABS will hold up better?  Either way it did a great job of getting as close to the gravel as possible.

Since its clear you can tear shit up quicker than trump at the all you can eat McRib day, how about a piece of angle iron welded, or bolted to your existing cutting edge?  But have the front slightly elevated or level, so its not digging in?

-9° Here this morning....

Lol , pipes cheap I think I’ll stick with plastic vs steel. The clanging and banging isn’t fun to listen to.
