Great father. What's done is done. No sense getting upset. Thoughts are with you my friend.

Plowing for the Massholes is likely more profitable than plowing for Cow Hampshire.

Yes it is I just drive my bosses trucks and fix them and we have a loader at the pit also...

We got just over a foot here in Ontario Canada. It was a bit too much for the 60" plow on the loader arms of my Kubota BX - I eventually caved and put the blower on.

Killing, where r u that you got a whole foot? (I’m jealous.). We are near Dorset, and haven’t gotten more than about” 5” ay any one time all winter.

I also have a (2009) BX 25, but with a rear blower. Alway wondered what blowing with a front mount would be like on my tractor. When I got my blower, I wasn’t willing to pay the extra $2000 to $3000 for the front mount model.

The Burb is sleeping in the barn for the winter, with her Battery Minder.
We have an agreement, the Burb and I. She was raised in Texas/New Mexico, and we agree that she should not go out in the snow and salt.

Little front wheel drive Corolla does just fine, going right through up to 5 or 6 inches.
Beyond that, out will come the little Ford 1920, as/if needed.

Kubota L48 TLB does not venture out when the ground is white, and is just quietly sucking on it's very own Battery Minder!
Took it's grille guard off yesterday, to have 9GA. expanded metal screen welded on.

8N just sits in the barn, without her 6V battery, just quietly reminiscing her past show pushing days.
Jeep is on blocks alongside, with it's own Battery Minder attached.

E-350 is just hanging out in FL, with Battery Minder, and anxiously awaiting my return in 3 weeks.

I like that plan. The wisdom of years of experience.
Just say NO to taking favorite trucks in snow!
I took the Ram 5500 out in that crap once and I flushed the underside with warm water to rinse off salt. Felt bad. Ram abuse :shocked:
I installed outside frost proof hot water mixing valve for snowplowing trucks. Best $300 I ever spent.

Rust is the mother of all 4 letter words!
I just put a lift in my shop for fluid filming our vehicles but am fortunate enough to be able to just not drive in it until it's dry. We had our 3/4 suburban die of rust fried, your doing the right thing. :thumbsup:

Fluid film is good, but you should also consider LPS-3.
I have been using LPS-3 for many years, and like it better.
LPS-3 been used for many years in aircraft cargo holds (corrosive spill, and condensation protection).

Just back that bad azz 454 4WD Burb out and GO :steeringwheel::flag-navy:
I have the worst plowed driveway in the neighborhood :laughing:

Before spending most of his time in a warmer climate during winter, my brother would rent AWD vehicles for the times he was here (he has a sport vehicle during summer that he stores when snow starts). He wouldn't clean his driveway, not even the snowbank. If the city would plow the road while at work and the snowbank was too high, he would take a head start from the front neighbor driveway and jump it lol.

He also would buy tulip plants and plant them in early springs and be the first one to have tulips in his neighborhood. He can be weird some times lol.
