did you have this much fun today?

I'm actually bummed when there is not enough snow to plow... Usually more effective, but holding the throttle and steering with one hand while filming was a task...

Bunch more last year, but dang, plowing is a blast.

Kinda like playing with big Tonka trucks!
Fun to watch that big pile of snow move out of the way.

Simple satisfying pleasures are often the best.

What's the milk crate for? Weights to keep the front end down for more grip?

I almost bought a heaver fixer cabin up in Lake Arrowhead with a long steep driveway leading up to the parking area and the house. I can park over 10 cars on that area and the first thing I thought of was an ATV with a snowplow. I went looking for a used 150CC Honda or something but it was not meant to be. On the day before we were suppose to close escrow, Fanny Mae pulled the deal. the offer was accepted, all cash, no contingency but no explanation need for them to pull it. Oh well.

the crate is for nothing more than carrying stuff. straps, d-ring shackles, gloves, my chain saw fuel/bar oil, a 5 gallon jug of fresh water from the garage up to the house for the dispenser.... the front is plenty weighted with the plow load and the shocks on full preload. the rear even with worn tires hooks up pretty good with only my fat ass on board. 5th winter, and I still learn a little something every time i plow the property. technique, snow management with storage location and things like don't push it to where it will melt for a week then having the runoff freeze across the driveway when it gets cold at night. it does about 10" max. i've had 18" fall over night then I have to make multiple passes. sucks cause the second pass has the wheel tracks which are harder to move consolidated.

my neighbor uses a side by side with a plow and I run circles around him with the nimbleness of the 660 quad.

I've never had that much fun .... not yesterday .... not ever!

What's a snowplow ?

I do have a plastic snow shovel .... think I've used it 3-4 times clearing my deck .... twasn't as much fun as you had tho

I had fun planting bushes .... in shorts, and sweating yesterday ...

You win !

A different tire with more contact patch might help with traction? I mean look at your tread tracks in the snow........large void ratio

You can have the snow, I want the Beach!!And Clams.

[pwd72s]

I'm content to live where we usually watch it drain away without having to shovel it. During the rare snow, I just stay home until it melts...usually a few days.

Body shop owners love it when snow comes to the Wilamette Valley.

Define ‘fun’… this was my life 12 years ago…

Got the big tractor stuck and needed to pull it free with the backhoe…

[CalE]

Uncle,
Been there done that. I had 2 Mudders stuck trying to rescue my truck in the middle of the night with two harvesting crews coming in the morning that needed both tractors Thank God for a Big Challenger with rubber tracks and Kevlar slings did I mention I hate Adobe soil and snow. No Fun!

Fun video 3.2 spec, you should of kept racing.
Sonoma is a fun track.
Got lucky had a win there 10 years ago.

[juanbenae]

That's awesome Ted! Loved the way you included your start up with your "team chief".... Always included my pops in the open to my videos when he was starting the camera and giving me a pep talk, that pretty much consisted on him saying "alight", then me saying "alright"....

I sold my spec911 after 5 seasons because I was tired of being broke.... I did not quit racing,,, I retired...

Heavy production value in this event video. two cameras..... I was unable to link it from jump for some reason. please rewind it to see my pops at the open when he turns the rear facing camera on. my favorite part. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YanZiB21-sw&t=24s
