That is not exactly true Rob. Have you watched the discovery channel when they take those expeditions to greenland and drive the big toyota 4x4's and big 4wd ford 1 ton vans over the ice cap and snow pack? They run big 44 inch Dick Cepek radial tires and go right over the snow. Works very well. I know it works too because I was out goofing around with two trucks one night in the Michigan winter. I had a 1976 Ford F-250 High boy 4x4 truck with very skinny radial snows on it and a friend of mine had a 1979 F-150 with a four inch lift kit and some 14 inch wide, 35 inch tall Dick Cepek Mud country tires with a 400 cubic inch V-8 and auto tranny. I had a 460 with an auto tranny. He was able to go through much more snow than my truck. They both sat the same height and he could do more. All you had to do was watch him and you could see the truck fly right over the snow. It would lift right up and go right over anything. Mine would plow right through down to the road and I would get hi centered every time. I know a lot of guys with big monster mudder tires that said the same thing. I later had a jeep pickup with 35 inch monster mudders, a 4 inch lift and a chevy 400 small block that would also go through, or should I say over much more snow than the ford. I now have a 88 F-350 4x4 with big tall firestones and it is about the same deal as the f-250. White actually made a 4x4 tractor that was the 4-210 model that was called the slope boss that had monster truck tires on it and they used it on ski slopes. So flotation does work well on snow.

Today's Featured Article - A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
