How's everyone doing with the SNOW

4" in eastern Nebraska yesterday. Hardly worth moving but it was fun getting on the tractor for an hour or so.

We got 1/4" in 2010

I'll be in SE KY this weekend. Should have around 12" waiting on me. I'll get to try out a jd1025 with loader, blade & chains.

Updated to 16" snow on top of 1/4" ice. Deciding if I plow twice or wait and try to take it all on at once. Should be exciting!

That might depend on if rear tire chains.

Plow twice, it is easier and you wont be overwhelmed.

Four brand new tire chains , but found they needed 3 cross links taken out each. 1025 did a fine job with rear blade & bucket. Plowed down a very steep hill to auto gate that was froze. Was even able to back up the hill using diff lock. 13" on ground now, but going to snow 20 more hours

There hasn't been enough around my place to get out anything but the shovels. Glad I'm still able to shovel.:thumbsup:

Sounds like you hit the nail on the head for traction.

Post some pics if you can of plowing the nasty storm.
