Winter Tractor Tips – How Do You Handle Snow, Storage, and Maintenance?

[bdhsfz6]

My method of plowing & maintaining my 1.25 mile private road was to buy a Kubota L6060 with cab and FEL plow, which I keep in the barn. I added a 3pt self loading spreader so I can plow & reload the anti skid spreader without getting out of the heated cab. The only uncomfortable part is walking from the house to the barn & back.

I might be committing a TBN felony but as a disillusioned Redditor I can’t help but spot the AI adjacent main post.

Note the perfect formatting, the chirpy positivity, weird usage of implements (small and large buckets?), saying they’re essentially using all storage options (who does that?), being off on winter timing, etc.

Most notably is that the guy signed up for an account at 9:20 am on Saturday, posted on 9:35 am and was never seen again. This is usually the second best clue.

Please tar and feather me if I’m wrong (hopefully I am) but also be prepared for the insidiousness of what is happening with AI on the internet and how it can easily penetrate even communities like this.

AI or not, it still prompted an interesting exchange of ideas on winter preparedness.

Ok? But I’m not sure a community discourse that’s unknowingly boosted by AI or marketing interests is something to look forward to.

If it's offensive or contains advertising, someone will report it and the post will be taken down.

What's a self-loading spreader? I shovel sand into my sander by hand. I'm getting too old for that. Was almost considering paying someone to sand my driveway. Usually only need it a 3 or 4 times a year. But I like to be self-sufficient. Especially when you have ice and want to get down the driveway.

Could be wrong, but I think the TBN administration discourages posting AI generated material. I personally prefer not to read AI here, as it's frequently incorrect or too generalized to be worthwhile.
Posting an AI generated response or comment with a clear statement that it's AI is certainly preferable, but I generally skip over any of it.

Was that first post another AI generated compilation of weird advice?

Glad you noticed too. It’s insidious and I was worried that too many in the community are falling for it. Posted the same and also why I think it was done.
