As rrlund said, getting the manure out has been a problem. The guy who plows the farm goes down past the run in shed, and leaves a huge snowbank, I told him I clear that with a snowblower, but he keeps plowing it, so I don't say anything, I'm glad he helps. First chore was to get the tractor past there, I knew I'd never get all the way to the manure pile, so I was able to get into the first hay field, turned around and backed in, laying down some traction! The ford has been here since 1990, I bought it from the owner in 08, I was pretty much the only one that used it so it was a no brainer. It's been a great tractor, gear safty switch went bad, and the metal power steering lines cracked, that's all it ever needed, beside a tach cover, old one was so yellow I couldent see threw it, oh and 1 ball joint. I know I should get tire chains for it, but I really want to get the roll bar and canopy on it for hay season. I walked over and checked on the old h hibernating. Lol
