Re: (ET) Tractor stuck

["SWS" <ssawtelle erols com>]

Other than to concur with others that chains are a necessity in snow, I 
also
find when I'm throwing snow I need to try to stay in the track I 'm making
with the thrower. If I cut a corner too sharp I get some slipping or bogged
down.

Went out this morning, freshened the charge a bit (it's been sitting since
November), and did my 800 foot driveway in about 45 minutes - I've got to
remember to wipe the smile off my face when I come in and my wife sees me.
Can't let her know how much fun I'm having.
