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.

Where 127 and 75 split, per the Google maps.

there is a Beaver Creek Resort? that is west of Otsego Lake. I think there is a township of Beaver Creek in the Grayling, MI area also. Jon

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.:)
