When I was working and people would start looking for the end of winter in the middle of February I would just smile to my self. We would snow shoe, ski, and ice fish into April. So there is a lot of winter left and some of the best weather. gg

We have 2 feet of snow on the ground here. I have been plowing with my truck so far all winter. But today I headed out with the tractor. I needed to make more room in a couple places that I stack snow with the truck plow like this square turn. It was all hard packed. Before - After -...

(y) Nice job, The beauty of a tractor with a winch and grapple !! gg

I have a 6' blade for my 5000 lb (with loaded tires and FEL) 30 hp L3010 which seems about the right size for dirt work. It is a LandPride RBT1572. There are an extra set of holes either side of the two sets of center mounting holes so the blade can be offset. A bit of a pain to do but it works...

There aren't many things worse than an ice storm if you have an emergency situation arrive, Like most in the NE we have enough snow now. 16" in this last storm. gg gg

Nothing wrong with that (y) You probably don't need to clear snow to often. gg

You are right ! I used to run a 5' plow on my Sportsman 500 and put chains all around. I could go anywhere as long as I didn't bottom out. gg

You left it across the road on a slippery hill long enough to take a pic ??? Glad you are OK. I find R1's terrible on hard slippery surfaces. Yes - get some chains. EDIT- maybe that was too harsh. You must have know the road well enough to do that . Sorry. gg

We had about 3" of dry snow on top of our hard ice. I just tread on it instead of plowing hoping to get it to stick. gg

Nice barn JonM !!! gg

It is green when I work it up so it dries quite a lot if just left in the sun and air uncovered. Rain just wets the surface and dries off quickly in the air. The species I have season well. I don't have species like red oak that take much longer to dry. If I split it on the landing I just make...

I finished up pulling out our wood for 2027/28 yesterday. One of my targets for firewood is junky Beech like this one. It's just above a tractor road - easy access. Leaning left but I wanted it to go straight across the road. Had trouble getting the choker under it even though there...
