Where the heck is everyone??? Snowed in tonight???
Got home early and used tractor/snowblower did 4 regular drives, then loaded on trailer and took over and did my parents good size gravel drive. Good thing I was almost done, must have caught a rock, broke the drive chain to the auger. Now I got to find someone who can fix or maybe have replacement links, I do not want to go to Sears, they will charge arm and leg. Oh well.....

:dead:

you guys must've just posted...they weren't there a few mins ago

It is certainly dead around here this evening...

I was out letting the youngster in me play a little in the snow. Testing out the Wintrac 4 X-Tremes. The do pretty well I would say better than standard tires in the snow and I have proven they aren't too bad in the mud either :twisted:

Either way
:grim:

I don't use those wimpy tractors I use a MAN size shovel and do it all by hand :roll:

shoveled 5 times today trying to help the "older" lady next door out so did her walks drive way as well. Worked a while, take a break, shovel a while, go back in pound on the puter, back out....man I am tired

What's difference between part time and full time 4x4? Wife's 05 is in 4H and has part time light on, but yet I read you are only supposed to use part time in certain terrain? She has no other option besides Neutral and 4Lo

Oh forgot ran to Lowes, 3 or 4 inches of snow in their drive, sitting in traffic car in front right turns on red, I sit there for a few seconds, guy behind blows his horn, light turns green....I punch it and look back to see the little Honda's windshield covered in snow, :-)r

Duratrac's throw lots of snow :twisted:

well ,good for you mr mudd. :SOMBRERO:

After seeing my father the way he has beat his body for last 60 yrs, If I get a chance, I do things the easy way. Not to mention, only took my 30 mins to do 3 drives! :goink:

and the blower was free few year ago so why not use it!

From the way I understand it part time should only be used on low traction surfaces as it locks all the wheels into turning together ergo it should not be used on dry pavement which would cause the wheels to bind when turning. Full time can really be used anytime as the wheels can turn at different speeds from one another. Mine only has the part time selection as well. I have really only used it in the snow and when off road in mud and stuff like that. If that explanation makes any sense. It has been a long day

4 Lo off road
Neutral use this when its sitting on a sloped drive way and you are underneath of it
4 H when its snowing , roads are covered and you need extra traction or anytime that you are not on dry surface and need the traction. If driven on say a dry road it will bind up!

Very funny :SOMBRERO:

I did the same thing to a lil Japanese vehicle today when she wouldn't get off my tail bob tailing a dual axle Pete. Let the drives go when I took off from light in high side :ROTFL:

shot about 10' quad roosters out and covered her car :ROTFL:

She didn't leave from the light untill her wipers started to move :-)r

Heck my bodies beyond beat up so doesn't make any difference to try and save it now.
I have no intention of arriving at the Golden Gates in a well preserved body, I'm skidding in sideways throughly used up, totally worn out and shouting
WOW what a ride!
He'll get a chuckle out of it before he lets me enter! :wink:

Sounds like we all had some fun with stupid drivers in 2wd vehicles today :ROTFL:

I had some kid in a riced out lowered Honda right on my bumper today. This was until I stopped at a light where he wiped over to get next to me and I assume try to pass me. Well light turns green and there he sits spinning and I take off without a problem and decide to throw some snow just for fun. The key was that I was still making forward progress while doing so :twisted:

Oh driving my kind of truck now! What did it have in it? My 01 had a Detroit which I hated , would throw alternator belts off at about 90 to 95 everytime. Tried everything to fix it, belts weren't that long even to have a lot of slack or anything ?? Traded it for an 02 long nose high top with a 575 HP Kitty Cat ( which we then played with) in it and 13 never had a problem with it at that speed or above !

She had I think the 660 Cat maybe even twin turbos with the way she spooled up. I never had the hood open, I just shuttled it for a customer from the dealer. It was sooooooooo nice new and fresh with all the new tricks in her, plus the customer told me to shake her down and get all the bugs out :pepper:
