Wow, that's is neat. That would make the OSHA folks have a nervous breakdown.

Thanks for sharing!

Did someone mention OSHA??
OK, its not steam powered, but 100% OEM Gravely. 1974 unit, with original low RPM 7.6hp "T" head engine that will run you up a tree. Saw blade is '60s OEM (the later ones had a guard, LOL).

I should find a vid of my Gravely with the "Dog Eater" snow blower on it. :lol:

Dangerous? Scary? ... Nah ... you just need to have respect for them.

Not sure if the video will work. I use this to bust up and push back snowbanks when needed.

My brother had one of those old gravelys with a rototiller on it and was trying to till up his garden that was clay soil. It kept trying to get away from him it was more like RODEOTILLING.
