I'm always ready and waiting for snow. The MX6000 stays in this format from November through April. I took this photo this morning after oiling the snow blower chain and greasing the blower and pto shaft.

One of the appeals of having two tractors is that I can keep one set up for snow and the other ready for anything else.

An older picture of my snow fighting set-up. I have used it twice to move small snow events this year thus far. Mya is getting old enough that she spends more time waiting indoors for the snow! As a matter of fact, that goes for both the tractor and the dog! :) LOL

I have to say, I really like the look of those B7100 tractors. The squared off look of the hood is cool. (y)

I am more partial to the dog. Lots of people have tractors, but dogs are special just like dog owners. (y)

What size is that blade??
Love it.
It started as a 6 foot jeep blade but is cut down equally on both sides to 5 feet Only a foot wider then the original blade that came on the tractor, but the height makes it look disproportionate.

We got our foot(ish) amd I got my seat time. Wish I had taken some pictures but 1:30-4 am wherent prime picture times and getting "stuck" 2x didn't help once up by the road and once off the side if the drive which had me on 3 wheels I was able to self recover both times with a little shoveling some boards to raise the front end and some different lock action but 2 am up by the road was sketchy. Thankfully I have strobes and lots of led lights

We got enough to make the ground white, but now, they are saying the valley might have up to 15" which could mean 2 ft for us. We'll see.

This is how I spend/spent my time waiting for the snow/ice.

We got his first Muskie yesterday at 0530.

I've never had to shovel the snow out of my boat, but then again I have never been on "soft water" in January, in Michigan......

A wise man once said.....'There is no bad weather, just bad gear"

For the record, we successfully released it.

I'm in northern Ontario, Canada and I have just enough on the ground to look white. I've done the driveway once with the tractor/blower, then it melted and rained.

Getting another light dust right now through the night with extremely strong winds.
