True, dad uses the 1600 to get feed from the bag on a daily basis and to push manure every so many days. Without it, no other tractor can do it's job. If the 1600 won't start, he'll just get some small squares out of the hay mow and feed them dry hay until I look at it and get it going again (very rare occurrence).
As far as breaking through the pile, that was more of a freak thing. The 1855 was plugged in for about an hour by the time I got there and although it cranked a little slow, the gear reduction starter on it proved itself and spun it fast enough to get it going. Only used the preheat button for about 25 seconds, when it says to use it for atleast 40 seconds in the cold like this.
Tire chains, yea we need them on the 1600. The 1855 doesn't really come out to play in the winter so it's not ever an issue. The 285 has chains on it, and dad's last loader tractor (a Massey 165) had chains, but we haven't picked up a set yet. I really need to just fix up the 165 so he can use it again but it's on the back burner.
