Generally any tractor will go through snow up to about it's belly. It doesn't much matter if it's two wheel or FWD. When they high center, that's it. If you were talking fluffy powder you might go through more, but here where we get heavy wet snow the belly is it. I wouldn't expect to pull much with a box blade either. You'll about get a blade full and that's it. If you try to drag more you'll just spin out... Best thing you can do is put chains on all drive wheels and go at it. The tractor I use for snow removal has 4 sets of chains on it, a loader on the front and a blower on the back. 18 inches is about all it can go through but once it claws thorugh it'll drag a normal load behind it... but it can still get stuck. The worst thing here for snow removal is a good tire. I've got a good set of Michelin radials on that tractor and they have such a large footprint that threre is no ground pressure left to bite on a hard surface. A great field tire and a great tire in deep powdery snow where it can fill the lug, but absolutely useless on a hard surface... And to anyone who thinks that an M or H could do the same thing, all I can say is dream on. I'll stay on the little FWD and get the job done instead of freezing my gonads off plowing snow for half a day when 1/2 an hour will do the job.

Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
