M-5040

[Deerlope]

Now that winter has set in and we are getting our annual snow fall. I have been able to spend some time plowing our 1/2 mile drive, while sitting warm and dry in the cab and listening to a cd. The M is heavy enogh to keep from being pushed sideways when the plow is angled. Having a cab and plenty of power means I can just take my time without fear of getting cold. I keep the Fransgard V-4000 winch on the rear for a little more weigh and if I shoud have to help someone out of the snow. The Valby ice chains on the rears add another 200 lbs. We got one hill and it gets icey, so rubber just does not bit good on that. I very seldom use the 4 wheel drive except if I am in the woods skidding logs. Log skidding is about to start real soon, but first we got to get done hunting. Thankfully that ends the 14th. Sorry no pic's of plowing snow yet.

I had an L-3830 with no cab. I was always running out of HP and I was trying to do much with it. Little things were starting to go south. I was always lifting to heavy of a log, I had to watch myself because I had the rear wheels off the ground a lot.
