I used my BR430 to move powder. That things moves stuff around good. Love the soud of it too. I also started my STIHL trimmer.
I will start mowing in May... Right now my trailer's jack is frozen in ice. Can't wait to put trimmer racks on it.

I SHOULD start mowing by mid April.

Was a slow winter only had 5 yards a week to do.
But kept busy doing trash outs and winterizing homes.

What consists in winterizing homes?

Run down trailer or a million dollar mansion.

Nice! I cleaned the decks and changed the blades the end of last season, all I need to do now is change the oil. I ran all my 2-cycle equipment today (for the first time since December), and put away my snowblower for good.
