Default Blizzard update : new photos

Well the kids don't mind drifts. The first photos show how they handle their drifts. On the other hand for me it's a different story. The next photos show the gate I have to go through to get to the hay racks. The gate is there behind the snow. I almost walked away from my drift and joined the kids at theirs . But the wife wouldn't let me.

brrrrrrr..... reminds me of back around '96 here in PA when we were getting 2' of snow every weekend. We had snow up to our you know what and even higher.
I had snow in my yard from mid Nov to the end of April that year.

I guess I'll quit complaining about all of the rain we've been having. You don't have to shovel rain. Can't make balls with it though.

You need to let some air out of those rear tires on that NH, they are upposed to squat some for better traction. We have 2 of the 1720 s with loaders and a Backhoe also. My brother uses one of them to dig out Hayleg and load a TMR mixer . Do you have any implements you could mount on back to give you more traction? I used to hang 6 100 lbs weights to the lower lift arms while using my tractor and loader. I now have a 6' snow blower on it so it is weighted good enough.

Well that is a lot of snow. And it looks good with the snow forts. I would have went that route.

I have a 6' disc and a few other implements but they are buried. The snow this time wasn't wet and heavy. The wet snow just tips the tractor . I sometimes wish I still had the 806

Looks like the good old days before I retired and moved to AR.
