I am ready from the equipment standpoint. However, from a psychological standpoint, no thanks.

We still have our Deere 4320, and standardized implements to iMatch hence the green! Seems wrong to paint an iMatch orange.

Well i finally had to break out the snow equipment. We had snow in early november, but that all melted and the ground thawed for the following 2weeks . I was beginning to see a warm christmas again.

Then the snows started coming last week. As of yeaterday we had about 10" on ground.

I plowed the first run to set a base. Yesterday i installed the snowblower and all 4 chains. Turned out i needed it, got 4" more last night and expecting 4-6" more thruout day.

Yup. Still above freezing in the daytime up at the cottage, 2 1/2 hours north of Toronto. We have skated during Christmas on the lake in front of the cottage for the past 13 years that we have had the cottage. This year, however the lake will not even be frozen at Christmas!
I guess you can water ski, then.:)
If you do, we need pictures!

Very nice setup. I have a mile long gravel driveway that I clear with a rear blade. Used a rear mount blower when I had a smaller tractor. The new, bigger tractor allows me to "push back" the berms without using a blower. Both tractors are/were open station - seems that the blower would always be blowing back on me no matter which way the chute was turned.

A cabbed tractor & front mounted blower is just too much like fun. When I get all "dressed up" to go clear the driveway I look like the Pillsbury Dough Boy.

I wear a french block heater, T-shirt, jeans and sneakers to blow snow in my cabbed tractor. I did the open station thing for years. When I bought this one new I specified a cab with heat. I don't care about A/C as it doesn't get that warm here in the winter to warrant it.
