    Same here. I’m not at all intimidated by 2’ of wet snow anymore.

    That is a stout good looking tractor. What is the HP on your new work horse.

    One of the best investments we have made, no regrets.

    I like those. I'm getting a pair.
    Was going to put bolt-on-hooks on my bucket but bought an Artillian fork setup instead.

    My Oliver 1650 developed a horrible hydraulic leak in the middle of hay making a year ago. So we bought this 1976 White Boss 2-70 . Had it out today cleaning up a top of a tree that broke off last year. I have gone to a Makita battery saw for my limbing and tree top work. This bucket is 6' wide and the pieces of wood are mostly 3' long for the boiler.

    Had some decent wind yesterday so I went out to check the tree line this morning. Of course there’s an ash tree broke off and hung up in grape vines. Oh darn… better get the tractor and the saw out… IMG_0197.jpeg IMG_0195.jpeg IMG_0198.jpeg IMG_0199.jpeg

    Brought 3 loads of wood up to the house. Tractor doesn’t tear up the yard as bad as the pickup. Kioti CK2510. Hooked up the back blade afterwards, the weather guessers are predicting a foot of the white stuff in between Sunday evening and Monday morning.

    Unfortunately no firewood today. Spent 4 hours on the tractor pushing snow.

    Cleaned the neighbors drive.

    Grabbing a load of sand. I spread some out in steep areas. Also helped with traction. Might need to get chains, almost got stuck with 4x4 engaged. No problem on the flats, but on the steep parts it gets hairy.

    I thought my reverse was messed up for a minute. A piece of ice wasn’t allowing full movement of the pedal.

    I should have got more sand, only got 2 tons this fall. I thought because I was prepared I wouldn’t get any snow, no such luck.

    Coming up from the road, just got done as it was getting dark. Barely got back up at the bottom. Other neighbor pushed a pile of snow into my drive. Real piece of work.

    See avatar if neighbors did that too me with a foot plus of snow… pretty sure it wouldn’t happen again..
    They would be lucky if they could see the roof of their house .. FAFO..
    most neighbors here are great; we work to make sure others are jealous of our 1 mile community
