Depending the car, weight and type of wheels this is of course 100%
true. Plowed street leaves packed snow over thin layer of ice in some
conditions, which is worse for a big tire than 9 inched of powder.

The roads of the nation are plowed to reduce traction and promote

How's everybody else doing?

I was busy getting my John Deere fitted with a 42" snow thrower. I have a
lot to clear (no pun intended). Anyway, the pros at John Deere prepped the
tractor for the thrower when I bought it, but I'm guessing they never read
the instructions because they prepped it for an electric PTO; mine is
mechanical, and they knew that. Well, the thrower still fit, but I didn't
like how things looked, belts too tight, etc., so I dug out the original
manual and there it was. I remounted all the brackets and shoulder bolts and
so on, and she fired right. I hit the 15" of wet spring snow and she plugged
up like a fat man on a cheese diet.

You have 2 choices here Scout.... approach it a little at a time or
undertake "Bobsprit's Revelation" - which states that deep snow provides
better traction than plowed snow.

Of course I'm right about that. Plowed snow leaves behind a thin layer
of snow and ice. Stopping distances are higher and deep snow tracking
characteristics are lost (for larger ADW vehicles like mine). Traction
on fresh snow is better than ice, folks. Kinda obvious....except to
mooron. Streets are plowed because smaller cars can't handle it at all.
But a SUV will do better in 9 inches of snow than a layer of ice.
Maybe Mooron thinks snowplows just reveal dry pavement?

I own both. FWD does great til the snow gets deep and packs up under the front
end lifting the tires. That's when I reach for the Jeep.

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

thrower...get a blade... (but we didn't have to this year! hahahah)

I had an 8' blade on a 4WD Kubota. Takes it down to the dirt. The 6' snow
thrower kept sucking in rocks and logs, the auger was always bending up. You
can use th front bucket to claw your way uphill when the going gets tough.

Wet spring snow = maximum fun!
