You too Dick. Ditto on the changes...maybe here also.

We've not had any snow which covered the ground, yet. Lots of wind
yesterday, buy only about four flakes of snow.

BTW, have you tried adding chains and weight to the Gator for snow removal?

Traction isn't a problem with the Gator. It has four wheel drive, a high
and low gear range, plus you can lock the rear differential. With the
wide, soft tires, it actually has much better traction in snow and on ice
than the bigger tractor.

The limitation is the size, particularly the height of the plow. When the
snow gets over 12 inches, it starts to pile up and over the plow instead of
being pushed to the left or right, depending on how you set it's angle.

You need a full size dump truck with chains and a vee-plow...

Well, funny thing is, he's right. Late last night the landscaping company
that normally plows our driveway showed up. By then there was a bunch of
new snow and drifts due to wind covering everything, even though I had
plowed earlier. He was driving a small dump truck with dual rear wheels
and did in about 10 minutes what it takes me an hour or so to do with the
Gator.

The only reason I do it is because we never know when Mrs.E.'s elderly and
handicapped parents who live a few miles from us are going to call with an
emergency. I try to keep the driveway somewhat passable, even during the
middle of the storm for that reason.

A goal for 2009 is to convince them it's time for assisted living or a
nursing home. It's a tough sell, but the time has come. My mother moved
into an assisted living facility last May and she loves it. All kinds of
activities, new friends, great meals and privacy when she wants to be alone.
It was a tough sell for her as well. She lived in the old Farmhouse that we
own (until tomorrow) for seven years. Now she wishes she had moved into
the assisted living place earlier.
