Eight Ton Sled

[RonL]

I was up on my property last weekend. I like to go up every couple of weeks and check on things. I start up the backhoe and dozer to charge the batteries. Last week I cleared the driveway with the backhoe. It was snowed in. I figured, as long as I'm running the dozer, I'll see how it pushes snow. I started to mound up the snow. I was sideways on the hill and hit a section that was solid ice underneath. The grousers act like skates on ice. I slid sideways down the hill. It was a short ride, but it was very interesting.

Those tracks can be very interesting and 'thrilling' when on ice and a side hill. The 'thrill' ride can turn deadly if the hill is pretty long and you can't get the tracks turned 90 degree to the slope. They don't dig into the ice very well either. Glad you are okay.
