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...


Last night I downloaded the newest version of Google Earth. It's
pretty cool. It even has a Flight Simulator mode that I was fooling
around with for hours.

Turns out I was a bit off on my earlier estimate of the length of our
driveway(s) that I plow.
Google Earth has a "ruler" function where you can fairly accurately
measure distances in miles, meters, yards, feet, inches, etc. I used
the "path" mode (sums a bunch of cumulative measurements) and measured
the total length of the driveways. They total 815 feet long by an
average of 15 feet wide. That's a lot of snow to move with a Gator.

Obviously, you have too much driveway.

Tear some up and plant a cash crop.
