Greg: I remember back in the 1950s in my home town, village about two miles from our farm probably had 100 homes, bank, post office, couple of stores, etc. Three guys kept the private drives of that village plowed. They had a Super A with blade, Super C with blade and MF 35 with loader and snow bucket. On the farm we were plowing with Farmall 300 and 7' angle blade. One day from the feed store, a bunch of us watched the guy with the SA doing his thing. As we drove out of the village, my dad said to me,"I think we plow snow with the wrong tractor.

By the way village is twice as large today and it now takes 1/2 doz. 4x4 pickups, 3-4 skidsteers, couple of 100 hp tractors and at least one payloader, all with cabs, to clean up after a snow storm. And do you know the difference; guys 50 years ago didn't have coffee shop to sit around in for hours on end, blowing about how well they were doing with the snow. I know they don't get it done as quick as the 3 little tractors did 50 years ago.

When I moved here, everyone laughed at me thinking I'd keep this driveway open with my 130. My driveway is about 400' and wind probably makes itone of the worst driveways for snow out here. 5 years later, they don't laugh anymore.
