In the past in my neck of the woods the ground has frozen before the first snow but in the last few years we haven't had that luxury. My snow mover is a 15,000 pound, 135 hp tractor that can do some serious landscaping in a few seconds. Setting that bucket at the perfect level where it doesn't go over the top of the snow but doesn't do landscaping is an art I haven't completely achieved yet. LOL When i feel the dreaded feeling of the tractor pulling down quick while the bucket gouges in I stop of course, but then I put the loader in float and tip the bucket as I slowly back up to try to unload the dirt back into the hole I made. It actually works sometimes. My favorite snow mover is the 12' Westendorf box scraper. Behind a big enough tractor it can move a lot of snow without digging dirt though it will scalp a little. Downfall to the box scraper is it can't pile the snow so I have to go the extra distance to spread it out in the field. Either way, I finally can enjoy the luxury of warm cabs to sit in while moving snow, something i didn't have during the first 50 years of my snow moving career if I want to call it a career. Our first snow mover was a Caswell loader on a John Deere A without rear weights or chains or even a heat houser. No live power, no power steering, no traction. In the cattle yard, if the tractor stopped with the front wheels cradled between to frozen cowpies, it was stuck. And we look back at those years and call them the good old days.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
