TODAYS SEAT TIME

[wmonroe]

We got about 10-12 inches of snow between last night and today so after work I plowed my driveway and drove the tractor over to my parents place and did their driveway. A cold but enjoyable three hours.

2 to 3 hrs seat time yesterday thanks to the snow

it's funny how everyone gripes and groans about the snow,
but in truth, for our somewhat niched group of tractor nuts,
it's an opportunity to go have some fun. To forget about work, forget about
other pressures and just go try to get that snow just right.
As long as we don't get too cold or too wet, it's usually fun.
Until the hydraulic line breaks or you get er stuck.

It's all a memory to me now having moved to the South, but last year I dealt with Philadelphia's record of 77 inches of snow. I had the right equipment though. My Gravely did a great job with either blade or blower, though I usually left the blower on. Here are some equipment pics after I built my weight box for the Gravely and after getting everything painted.
Sure doesn't look like that now about four years later. I sold the blade and blower, and the recent weather has made me wonder if it wasn't a mistake. But no, it just melts here. And a tractor doesn't help with ice anyway. So another TBN member has my blower and I sure hope it worked well for him this year.

So while you guys have been getting snow in your face, I'm happy to just remember. Sixty plus years of it is enough...

Drew, the snow yesterday just caused me to change tractor seats. My plans were to sit on one all day anyways. Snow doesn't give me an excuse for seat time it just creates work.

Told wife yesterday: 6 inches of snow is fun a nice quiet trip out the road. 12 inches is manageable but this 20 inches is flat out work.

You did a nice job on that weight box.

Helped a neighbour break down some snow banks so he could get into his shed.

Heard there was over 5 feet of snow in the highlands and the groomer got stuck really bad.

No snow storm to deal with here yesterday. The day had a cold start at -15* but by noon it was a beautiful late winter day. I took this just before lunch. Headed to the mill after.

Well no snow here in sunny South Carolina! Just moved here in December from colorado and enjoying the green winter here!! Just bought a little place here and putting up some fence.. posts first of course!

Whew... when I get done for the day maybe I'll go fishing in one of my new ponds!

Hunt, nice looking tractor. Nice ponds too. We have had a wet last couple of years and my natural pond is holding water again {after being dry for years}. Started stocking it last year. Should be about ready to fish when I get around to it.
