Stumbled upon this forum? ;) Glad you came over Dan. I knew the name DYNA PLOW looked familiar. I recognized it from your registration in my Contractors Directory. This is a great forum. You will not learn more anywhere else! I hope you look through the archives here, as there is a ton of information! You can network with REAL PROS from all over the USA here. This is by far the best information resource on the internet for those in the snow & ice removal business. You get input from many different angles here. Well, you've been reading, so I'm sure you've seen the great bunch we have here. The information is endless. As a professional, you might want to read the threads here about SIMA.
Just wanted to welcome you aboard Dan!
I warn you, this forum is addictive!!! Just ask anyone here's wife!

WARNING.... WARNING.....
Do NOT stay on this forum.
Do NOT visit this forum.
DANGER, Will Robinson... DANGER !!!!
DYNA PLOW.... I'm tellin you right NOW.... If you stay here and look around too much - we WILL corrupt you. We are all sick and we love the snow. We love this forum. It's like a drug. Once you start you CANNOT stop. You'll end up with gooey mess's in front of your computer (can I say that Chuck ?? - remember, Dino said it first).
Anyway... continuing on.....
DANGER !!!
You will learn much more than just snowplowing stuff. You will learn that there are sick people in just about every state - including, but not limited too.... Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey... and (unfortunately) many more.
Your business will expand. Your knowledge will grow to the point where you brain will hurt from all the input data. Your profits will go up and then you start buying BIG trucks. You'll end up staying up late and (dare I say it) ignoring your wife..... then the kids....
I'm tellin you man..... get out while you still can....
I'm a prime example.... I stayed away from here for months, because I was warned... But I just HAD TO LOOK. Just once..... and..... now I have.... no choice.... in the matter..... I can't.... help myself.... anymore.....
In fact.... I'm going on vacation next week.... on a cruise ship in the Carribbean.... and I'm... not sure.... how...I'll survive the entire week in the sun.... without access....to .... a..... TERMINAL !!!!!!!
HELP YOURSELF NOW !!!!!
EEEEIIIIIEEEEEEE !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dynaplow, welcome to the looney bin!!! You will learn a great deal from this wild bunch. Just sign up early for the sub branch of this group.. its called "THE WIFE'S MAD AT ME CLUB" . I am filling out my application now ( my wife thinks I am looking at Dino's porn sites! Ha ha ha
John ( NY SNOWPROS) , you missed an opportunity to personally extoll the virtues of Magic. Man are u slipping !!!
John A .. A Vacation? The Caribbean? There is no snow there! You could always get a laptop and a wireless modem... But then again your wife would most likely throw you overboard to the sharks and barracudas..

Oh yeah.... I can just see that now...."Honey, I gotta call in, I be down to the pool in a few hours".
Those of you who DO know Peggy, will understand it when I say that her response would be "NOT".

Your right JCurtis i blew my opportunity here to talk to someone new about Magic.Now ill make up for it.Hay DYNAPLOW ever here of a Anti-icing and De-icing product called Magic? Well just ask me please what it is and i would be happy to show how to increase your profits,save you time and lower your labor costs.Magic is used by 1 man operations as well as snow operations that gross over a million dollars.Size doesnt matter here when it comes to Magic anyone large or small can use it and gain by it.

I'm not sick I feel fine,as for you John the worst will be coming back and having to read all the posts you missed and then typing for days trying to impart all of your wisdom to us the lowly.Have a nice vacation, you need to take some Magic along incase you should happen to come across a stray ICE berg on your way to Carribbean.

Ok, i admit that i took a break from reading the snow plow forum, was busy posting on the 'greener' forums and making money. You guys have definitely been away from the snow for too long. This place was no where this cracked last winter when we were all busy pushing the white stuff around.
I'm getting outta here before any of that gooey stuff leaks out of here and lands in Virginia!

Follow your own words!!! Scroll up (Or down for that matter) and read the explanation from John ( NY SNowPros)
He is the Jedi Master when it comes to Magic ( except he looks nothing like Yoda)
It will truly open your mnd and soul to the magic of "MAGIC"
Chucks Toxic Paint is well... how should I say it?... Oh never mind, I'll let Chuck explain!

Welcome DYNA -
How do you like your 3 wheel Honda compared to if you had the 4 wheel? Is it an older one? I didn't think they made 3 wheelers any more.
DYNA PLOW
10-16-2000, 02:05 PM
digger, i suppose you only visit in the summer?
hazelhurst is only about 1.5hrs from me.just so happens
my inlaws have a house just north of woodruff off of hwy 51.
beautiful place to snowmobile.
snowpro, i bought the three wheeler two seasons ago
for 200.00,electric start, reverse. didnt plan on using
it to plow.however ended up getting a lot with large sidewalks. snowblower takes to long with a few inches of snow so i designed a plow and carrige for the threewheeler. did'nt cost me a thing..had the steel..have welder,plasma cutter, torches.it works great saves me humongous time. yes a 4x4 4wheeler would be better if i could swing it but right now would rather buy some salting equipment.
