Snow in your area.

[UP Guy]

I am just north of you UP Guy (across the ditch as they say)........snow streamers off the lake are going to hit us again tonight , but after Lake Superior freezes it should get better !!

With this weather it should not take to long to freeze the big lake.

Got about 3-4" of snow the storm that rolled through a few days ago. Enough to get out and log 18hrs of plowing.

-7*F this morning. Supposed to be that cold again tomorrow for the low. Only 5*F now.

That -7 is ~ -22*C

Thats bad since only about a week ago we were pushing 60*F ( ~16*C)

Where abouts are you? 60 miles would put you this side of the river

Nice set up, I'm thinking about adding chains too. What's your opinion? Are they worth the effort?

Chains make a world of difference UP Guy. My clearing is mainly on inclines and I would have a tough time pulling the blower without them.

My DK35 has tight clearances so it made fitting chains difficult. I started with DUO's and found the gaps between the patterns too large. So I modified them as shown in this thread:

http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachments/268885-duo-chains-planned-modifications.html

and am happy with them now. If doing it again I would likely go with Aquiline, Trygg or Tellesfdals that have a continuous pattern around the tire's diameter.

I used small chains for the fronts.

I think most will agree that chains dramatically increase traction..

If your are interested you may want to start a thread asking for opinions for your tractor and tires. I found it took a lot of testing and adjusting to get something to work. My dealer quit selling chains because they are so difficult to fit for everyone. He now directs the customers to a local supplier.

Cheers

We got down to -32F the night before last. Last night it warmed up....-25F and there is more snow coming to add to the 2' we have now. I sure am glad I got a cab with heat.

I'll take your word for it, I was only eyeballing from the scale on google maps and getting about 45 miles to the bridge

Had 2ft drop the other day and then -17*F with windchills to -35. Warmer today, thanks, but forecast is btwn 2.5-4.5 ft of more snow.
I'd blame the **** lake, but my MF1528 sits in the garage with a 62" blower...
