No snow back east this winter?
Very little around here, and national Weatherman said similar East coast.No snow back east this winter?
Foot controls? Gross.They are allot of fun...Just wiggle the sticks with your hands and the pedals with your feet.
Easy Peasy.
A real man, can work with whatever he has.....Foot controls? Gross.
I have. My point was that those are outdated and pilot controls are the way.A real man, can work with whatever he has.....
Try flying an Air-O-Plane.
No experience with implements, but real snow tires don't rely solely on aggressive tread. It is the softer composition of the rubber (which remains flexible at lower temps) and the number of edges (sipes) presented to the surface. Newer compositions are using embedded "grit" or similar micro-abrasive elements to provide thousands of tiny gripping edges. I ran a set of Bridgestone Blizzak studless tires of this type for several years. The performance was quite impressive.As to snow tires ...
The loader's tires are already pretty aggressive, so not sure how much a snowtire would help ( though will look into it ).
Since the grooves are rigid, snow and ice will pack into it no matter what. When that happens though, they might as well be slicks.
The advantage of a chain ( in addition to being able to penetrate the ice ) is that it's loose, so it cannot pack up.
My thinking with the rubber chain is that though it will not penetrate the ice, it is still loose so the packing up won't happen.
So you only fly an ercoupe ?I have. My point was that those are outdated and pilot controls are the way.
Or a helicopter....move up to a track hoe and you can keep your hands, feet, and fingers all busy, even with pilot controls.
Foot controls? Gross.
Apparently they did "Leave A Mark" and now he's residing in qty (1) "doghouse"....With no WiFi.And how did they work out
So far this winter, I took out the loader once, only to move about 10" of slush the city plowed in front of the driveway.No snow back east this winter?
