Gramps: If you can keep the drivway scraped quite bare, and not get build up of hard packed snow, which turnes to ice on a mild or rainy day, plowing without chains is quite easy. If you live in an area where snow pack builds on you regardless, then you will need chains. I plow my snow with a Farmall 130 with front mount angle blade. I find the biggest item that gets me in trouble is pushing too far into the snow mass, then I can't back away without chains. One item I find that helps a lot is to get the snow plowed off before vehicles start driving through it. I once had a neighbor always wanted me to plow his driveway. He could never understand why his driveway was so hard to plow compared to mine. I told him if he acted his age and sat by the fireside until snow was over, it would make a difference. He was 65 years of age and I swear the minute it started snowing he started driving. It wasn't uncommon for him to make 20 trips in and out his drivway during the storm. I used to tell him that was the reason the road department needed a 20 ton machine and I could plow with SA. If the road department could just convince people to stay home during storm, they wouldn't need half the equipment.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
