Kraig,
Ahhh....Red Green, The Tape God!
I have an almost endless tape supply thanks to one our customers at work, heck they even send me camo tape for those night time missions so I won't be seen! I guess if I ever get a DEDICATED snow tractor, I would consider loading all four tires and then the typical two to four weights on the back with chains. I don't like the idea of the weight box hanging off the back from the stand point of the looks, as well as the fact it lengthens the tractor that much more. I would imagine getting the tractor and blower in to some of the spots I have to go will be tough enough when blowing paths to get in and out of wood shed as well as the path to the window where the firewood gets fired into each week. Something about having to work around a deck and some pine trees wedged in along the property line that makes it much more of a challenge, then throw in the snow and well, the sloap of the hill and some good old Canadian ICE! Yeah, it can be a challenge on a good day, don't need to make it that much longer of a machine to navigate around with.
Don T,
I have often wondered about the size of them blowers how much the weight is transfered off the rear end and work against you? Not sure about the multiple tractor idea Don, remember the wife!
Vincent,
I kinda thought that would be the case sometimes. I know when I used the blade on the ATV, it would do that often if the snow was heavy or wet, and it was 4x4 too.
Keith,
Yes, we do get crappy weather here at times. Its a mixed bag all the time it seems. If we get two or three storms in a row that is JUST snow, we are laughing. We often get ice and wind thrown in too which just adds to the headaches. I remember having to drive down tunnels with the ATV pushing snow with the blade, heck I'd have to drive three or four hundered feet down the road just to get rid of it often, would almost be to the neighbours with it just to get it out of my driveway and piled up enough. The road ditch wasn't long getting filled up when I was shoving snow!
