If we get more then a couple of inches of snow a year we're doing good. we mostly operate the same year round except pulling out the carharts for winter.

Around here most guys just run chains year round. We only take them of to change flat tire. Other than that we put on our long johns. ;D

I'm ready and waitin  8)

The chains stay on the tractor all year.
   Did an anti-freeze check on cat and tractor; both good to -45, it don't matter if you talk farenheit or celcius  :o I don't work in the woods below -30 anyway.

Still want to weld some ice lugs on the cat for those steep places.
