weather killing my tractor time

[sdk1968]

guessing lots of you are having this problem right now...


its to wet to be in the yard on the toy.. like a sponge out here in Southern Ohio.

when its frozen i can put on more clothes & go work some.
when its dry.. less clothes & go work some.

NOW? cant do anything but just look at it with a sad face as my "to do list" piles up.

sometimes i just go in the barn & sit in the seat & tell it: "soon baby.. soon"

LMAO man this type of weather sucks! so much to do & play at & just making zero progress.

Yeah it do,,,went to bed last night it was raining and blowing,, this morning I got 2 inches of snow

I feel your pain brother. Yard is a soggy mess and will be that way till we get some warmer dry weather. As it sits at the moment, I would need at least a month for it to dry out enough to do anything on it

It's been a crazy winter, middle of February and we don't have any snow, unheard of around here. We get a couple inches then a day of heavy rain to take it away.

3 days ago we were looking like spring was around the corner, 40's and just wonderful although we still have a foot and half of snow and 6 foot berms everywhere.
Then boom back to winter cold, colder, then even colder.
anything that was thawed out is back to being an ice brick!

It keeps hopping around but it look like a week of just cold, no snow.

On the plus side we are still frozen solid Northwest of Columbus. Not for much longer. I rearranged my garage this past weekend to put the B3200 in the back and pulled my 4wheeler up front to do tasks around the property. With the loaded tires on my B3200, it does not tread lightly....

Sunday really underscored why I need to get a pole barn put up this summer

forgot just how many of you were located "around" me...

yeah rain yesterday & 55*... then rain last nite & froze over & snow this morning...

& im on high ground... squishy as all get out.

that was one of the better things about the 2601: it was lite on the yard!


ps: sun is shining now & its 34*... thats no help at all. squish squish with every step.

We had 3 days of snow here in Michigan, so I had the BX out daily plowing my drive and clearing the snowplow deposits from four of my neighbors' driveways. I'm almost sad to see the sun today, almost.

We have your winter here in PA and you're welcome to it!

the past 3 winters have been unusually mild - well, this year made up for it. We had more snow by mid-january than the previous 3 winters - combined! And cold temp? Oh, yeah, way below normal - way way.

This week is to be more normal..but we had 8" of snow on the ground friday and it's all melted as of yesterday..wet? crazy wet. Today was sunny, so it's drying out nicely.

But then things will thaw...and the mud will arrive.

I did get to plow snow though! Didn't do that the past 3 years - not even once!

sdk1968- I feel your pain; but in my case, it's the caregiver thing that limits my time with my little orange buddy. I don't think I've been to my place up north (where the tractor lives) more than 10 days in the last 18 months.

Yeah but Tuesday night thru Wednesday night we’re gonna get 6-8” of white stuff!

Lil Foot,

i hear you & sorry you dont get to play on your toy. but caregiving is a very honorable thing that lots of people just dont do when its "their turn".


as to snow? when we get some im on the tractor.. plowing driveways!

when we dont or it rains it off to fast? things are too squishy to get her out of the barn. like now. had 2" of snow this morning & it was raining it down to nothing on my way to work.

came home to more "squish" than when i left. no way to get her out of the barn without making ruts in the yard & feeling the wrath of the wife.

Normally would have potatoes planted by now.....WAY too wet!!! I got my garden spots broke up right before all the rain set in, but have not been able to get back in due to rain.
