    Well... this was an unexpected buncha fun. You guys are a freeekin riot... :rofl: :lol:
    Hey Dennis, Backwoods Savage, yes the 4x4 has power steering which is totally useless with the tracks, unfortunately. In the soft snow tho, there's not really any noticeable difference between a loaded vs unloaded box up front. On hard ground or snow, it's like the machine is on rails... and that's a PITA when you gotta go left or right. I've gotten used to it and found ways to make it a little easier when I need to. Everything happens in slow motion so... :whistle:

    Yeah but money spent on our toys for all this work sure beats paying the oil companies to keep us warm :coldfire:

    I remember my not even girlfriend yet, who later became my wife asking if I could help load the wood bin at her parents house (1980's) in Springfield, OR. Think of the look on my face when I go into the back yard and see at least (4) cords of wood, I then ask where is the wood bin and she opens a door at ground level on the house and I peer into a wood room. I think I was taken advantage of that day (work wise).:D
