Show your 5 tons in the snow.

I don't know why the link died. I uploaded it to youtube. Shouldn't disappear this time.

M925 in the snow.

Dude hold my beer and watch this.

Had to bust out the plow truck. It runs great and pushes like a dozer

Any issue found with running chains on all axles? TM says only on outside of 2nd axle. Need to get chains for city plow (M925)

City Snow plow

City Snowplow. Backs up 1999 Dodge 3/4t pickup for big snow.

One thing I didn't seem to find an answer to in this thread was what the snow "fording" abilities are of these tricks. For example, if you've got a 939 series and the snow is measured in feet, would one be able to air down the tires and traverse it? Or are you pretty much relegated to something on tracks at that point?

My guess would be pretty low. I think that to be the case for any wheeled vehicle in snow?

You'd be surprised. I dunno where you're living, so I don't know what it's like there, but here (even though we live in New Mexico) we type I ally get some good snow in the winter time. My z71 regularly can traverse over a foot of snow, so long as it packs well. But, that vehicle is no where near the weight of one of these beasts.

Michigan. We get all sorts of snow. Mine has not been stuck in snow yet, but it slips and spins easier than I would have expected it to in snow. Seems to have better traction off road in mud and such. No lockers, just conventional open diffs.

Hmm. That's a bummer. Do you chain it up? You have super singles or ndts?

You chain up in the snow, you're good to go. Without? So/so.

5 tons turn into a 23000 pound roller skate pretty quick.

Sorry about the bad lighting, this time of the year we don't get much. this is the kind of snow we have to deal with when a major storm comes through. This was storm number 3 for the season so far .

Ps after taking the pic I continued on through the snow.

This was Saturday morning. Haven't really had a decent snow here for a couple years.

Maybe later on this year when the sun is up longer I will get the kids to help film some action shots.

Not a lot snow in Arkansas, but I got some. I can go a few miles in any direction, and no snow there. Just so you know, this is enough snow for the local schools to shut down for a day!!

Some "file photos" of my xm757, showing airing down to 10 psi, driving on level ground and mired on a side slope. Approx 8" of snow.

Snow in Colorado, just not in the suburbs of Denver.

I don't get the opportunity too often down here in Georgia.

One for the pure and fantastic sound, and one, of a (more) 'aggressive' appearance', And all the better sounding after a few..beeerz! This was on a way to a damaged vehicle off the road.
