12" of powder and 35+ MPH winds always lead to good things in Kansas. The snow is either In a drift or spread so thin it melts in a day. Wind blew so much that there is a lot of dirt mixed in the snow.   The reason dad still swears by the old hoe drills. They leave enough of a ridge to help catch the snow compared to the new disc drills.  Guess what brand of tire left these tread marks.  Its a little awkward to move around but it gets the job done.   County wont blade the roads and with a box scraper the best we can do is knock the drifts down.   Crammed back in the shed waiting for the next storm  |

I wish I had a tractor like that to move snow. Do you have a snow blower for it? That CVT would be the ticket to run a snow blower on it. Those tires must be some Firestone 23 degree radials? I think all that snow ended up blowing through Kansas and into the Red River Valley.

I don't know how much snow we had up here north east of Austin. But we look a lot like that. All the snow is piled in the ditches , fences, and tree rows. The fields are blown clean unless they had residue on them. That is what a Kansas snow looks like. We very seldom ever get a nice flat snow. It usually comes with wind and drifts. It was a mess the county and state were busy trying to open roads that were blown shut.

No need for a snow blower, if it cant make it through the drifts then chances are we will be out riding snowmobiles anyways. Not Firestones Wind blew out of the north, I think it all blew down into oklahoma. |

I think we got that same blizzard. We got a little more snow then that but it didn't really matter because ours came with that 35 mph wind with gusts up to 60. Our road was closed for a couple days but it fianlly got opened up when the blizzard was done, i went into town yesterday and since it couldn't blow around there is a good 3 feet in town. On my way home the snow plow was trying to get the snow off the road even better or something and ended up in the ditch... Needless to say the guy was kind of an idiot but that makes sense since he works for our county... Our neighbor tried pulling him out with his 4555 but his back tires were just spinning on all the ice and snow and so i went home and got the 4955 out, the FWA definetely came in handy. We got him pulled out by about 6:30 so it took a little while. I was gona get a picture but my phone was in the pickup charging so i forgot about it and my girl friend got one but it wasn't very good since she was sitting in the pickup.

Marc, at least your county tries.... ours cleared our entire road when there were only 3 drifts that ran across the road. So now that all the sand is back over on the edge of the road we will have to fix it again.....  The tires are Michelin Agribibs. The best tires you can get for row crops. |
