Have you priced tracks for pick ups? I know the smaller tracks for a Jeep are $16,000. You can get a used tracked Thikiol snow cat for not much more than that. I was a mountain warfare instructor in the Marines and we tested a lot of vehicles in the snow. Take a look at Extreme Hagglunds...

I've driven my 5 ton in the snow. Its top heavy and with it's weight, if it slides and gets stuck you will have trouble getting it out, even with a winch you need a big anchor. It will make deep ruts that aren't good for a snowmobile trail. I run my Case 450 dozer on the snow and with it's...

You have some beautiful places over there too. I am looking forward to seeing more of your scenery and vehicles too.

Well its time to start this post back up. Not much snow but its a starts and hopefully the truck will be hidden by spring and the droughts will be over.

First time I had to step down to get to the running board to get into the truck. About 3 feet of hard packed snow that I can walk on without breaking thru. Can't drive the truck until I plow the road open. Can't plow the road open until I shovel off the dozer in front of the 5 ton. Can't get...

Carlo, Do you ever worry about slipping on the ice and ending up in the pool? I have had vehicles parked on almost level ground and they have started sliding on the ice. You would have one big car wash!!!

And a bungie cord to hold it on. Attach it to a small hole in the lip of can and the other end of the bungie to the holes in the heat shield. Keeps the can on and the snow out of the stack.

Lots of heavy wet snow this year. The 5 ton is parked for the winter and the dozer is parked waiting until spring to open the road up.

Was it stuck because the front axle was not engaged? Or was it just lack of traction? If there was ice at the bottom of the snow it could be just not enough traction. Put some weight in the truck helps, but sometimes you need chains. I have slid enough on the ice, even on snowmobiles and...

We got enough snow in September that I had to use the dozer to plow..... Then very little snow until a few weeks ago. Very strange weather with the East Coast getting most of the snow. I have friends on the West Coast who are complaining how little snow they have. I snowmobiled on Monday and...

We have finally been getting some snow. Lots of ice so the 813 stays parked since its no fun on ice. Plus it still has 4 cords of firewood in the bed.

I forgot where I parked my 5 ton!!! I have been looking for it and hoping to run into before Spring! Maybe I can tunnel down to it one of these days!
