Default SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!

We have Ford 1100 with a standard PTO but we also have

front and
rear hydraulics. We also have a very long (200 ft)

driveway,
uphill....we use a front blade to plow...forget the snow
thrower...get a blade... (but we didn't have to this year!

hahahah)

My Ford 4000 has a front bucket and rear blade ( on the 3
point hitch ) . The rear blade is easier on a stone
driveway, but hard on the neck.

Our driveway is sand and clay with an aggragate laod of gravel on
top that we replace every few years because they go downhill and get
donated to the county...we didn't get a back blade...front blade
worked just fine and never had any problems...once in a while I put
the drag on and drag the drive flatter..

Very probable..... sand & clays can combine.... reference
Clay, sandy, brwn, some gravels, trace silt.
Aggregate cap of 0.2m of crushed 15mm minus. The fractured face count of
over 90% ensures a lock.

What are you Bobsprit.... totally out of your league again?

Ha Ha Ha.... look...stay out of discussions about things you don't have a
clue about... like sailing, winter driving, tools and construction... avoid
embarrassment

Once again Mooron proves that I'm the #1 most creative guy here!!!!
Tell us, Mooron, what are the stopping distances on 6 inches of powder
vs. wet road above freezing?

Bwahahahahahahahhaha!

What mass, speed and area of friction circle would be involved in your
Hypothetical Scenario Bobsprit? What depth of Powder, Temperature....
Standing Water?.... "road" is ambiguous Bobsprit... Asphalt?, Concrete?,
Chip Seal?, Gravel?, Clay? .... has sand, de-icer or calcium been added to
absorb water or melt ice?

Shall we engage a scenario you might be familiar with... a city street?
You claim better traction in a foot of snow than on a plowed street!! Didn't
You?

Heh Bobsprit.... you think Scotty notices 6 " of powder on the road when
driving his rig?

Actually, snow of any height does help one stop.

Sorry, Mooron. Your memory failed you again. We were talking about MY
SUV in conditions found yesterday. You actually think that stopping
distances are shorter on ice and packed snow from a plow?!!!
Okie dokie!
