You too Dick. Ditto on the changes...maybe here also.

We've not had any snow which covered the ground, yet. Lots of wind
yesterday, buy only about four flakes of snow.

BTW, have you tried adding chains and weight to the Gator for snow removal?

Traction isn't a problem with the Gator. It has four wheel drive, a high
and low gear range, plus you can lock the rear differential. With the
wide, soft tires, it actually has much better traction in snow and on ice
than the bigger tractor.

The limitation is the size, particularly the height of the plow. When the
snow gets over 12 inches, it starts to pile up and over the plow instead of
being pushed to the left or right, depending on how you set it's angle.

Last night I downloaded the newest version of Google Earth. It's pretty
cool. It even has a Flight Simulator mode that I was fooling around with
for hours.

Turns out I was a bit off on my earlier estimate of the length of our
driveway(s) that I plow.
Google Earth has a "ruler" function where you can fairly accurately measure
distances in miles, meters, yards, feet, inches, etc. I used the "path"
mode (sums a bunch of cumulative measurements) and measured the total length
of the driveways. They total 815 feet long by an average of 15 feet wide.
That's a lot of snow to move with a Gator.
