Never heard of Beaver Creek. Turns out I'm less than an hour away (Cadillac). Go figure.

I drive home last night through 4"+ of fresh stuff. Get home (45 min) and barely a dusting. Go figure.

Here's my M-F GC2300 with 2360 Blower. Mods as follows:

Curtis Cab (velcro re-done this year)
Curtis Heater
36" Light Bar on top of cab
(2) 18W LED work lights near bottom of ROPS
Linear Actuator on Deflector
1/8" UHMW on back of chute/deflector
Spare garage door opener clipped to cupholder...

I have a set of Euro-style chains but haven't felt the need for them yet.

Never seen chains on front only

I did that on my old Ford HD Industrial as well as my plow truck. On the tractor it's because I was cheap and could run 16" truck tire chains (which I already had) on it, instead of spending $500 on rear chains. On my plow truck it's because I was cheap (are you sensing a trend here?) and there is more weight on the front of a p/u than the rear, so it is actually more effective.

In either case, having more control over the direction you're going is a big advantage over skating around wherever the plow wants to push you*. For sure, chains on all four would be the ultimate, but even just the front is amazing.

*I ran an angle plow on the tractor too - just an old manual job I rigged to the bucket.

What is that contraption on the rear end? Never seen or heard of a hydraulic plow. Need more info on this one to help quench my intellectual thirst for knowledge.

Log skidder plate with winch.

Correct. On the rear is a Farmi logging winch. On the front is a WR Long hydraulic angle plow.
