    I'd guess we got 10 - 11". It plows great. I plowed without the chains at first and it did fine, but they do add a lot. I got them for $40 on amazon, and those are pretty big tires for that type of machine. I read a lot of reviews that said that style gator didn't plow well. I beg to differ.

    The pile up on I-96 was bad. Right behind the house I grew up in, and only 2 miles from me now.

    Be safe out there.

    Kidding- you've got a sweet machine right there bud!
    I've had sassafras in my stacks do great in the fire pit, but only cause I didn't have much, and it was summer.....:campfire:
    Can't wait to see that machine in person come April '17, and maybe you can hang around for a bit?:handshake:

    Those gators are the real deal. I used to use my tractor to skid out logs, but have switched to using the UTV.

    Lol just take it over to auto zone and drop it off. The tractor takes like 3 gallons of hydro fluid, luckily i dont have to change it that often.

    Awesome! I use to have an older Gator that had 4 rear wheels but only one front wheel. If I remember it was a 626...

    Still a workhorse. Love your plow set up.
