I am about 13 hours late on this one, so when you talk about that storm I know by now it has appeared. I am looking forward to seeing what that much snow is like. About the most I've seen is what you got now. Your lifestyle has to be a healthy one, the work you do is vigorous and steady. Needless to say, I would love to hear about your usual home cooking so I may find myself sneaking a peek over at Miss Kitty's channel. Enjoyed the show today, and really excited about the next few days. Have a good day, my friend.

Love Kia attacking the snow, our dogs do the same thing! It's coming our way, with a prediction of over a foot of new snow between Sun evening and Tues morning, At least Mike will be home and able to work on his forging Christmas projects and to help with chores. He just got the carburetor rebuilt for our Farmall so we can plow the snow it's running great now. Ours is a 1952 Farmall M, it's been a great tractor for us for almost 20 yrs. now. I will tell a funny on Mike, he rebuilt it and put it on but the float was sticking, so had to pull it off, well being frustrated with this when he solved that problem and got it back on he couldn't get it to stay running, long and temper flaring moments later her remembered he forgot to turn the fuel on, LOL magically it started and purred like a kitten after her turned it on! Prayers lifting for your family, God knows the need. Sorry you are still having issues with your hydraulics, if you need to talk it through you can call Mike, he may have some ideas that may help. Take care and stay warm

It’s was -60 in Manhattan mt on the Wednesday before Christmas!! And my heater went out in my trailer bro! My boy and I were huteld around my milk house heater all night! Wasn’t fun!!

[donnahoffman]

That was the LCV last week. I think most finished melting today. We got some brrr cold temps coming. Your dogs love to play. It was fun watching Kai (?) catching the snow...lol

[bryanfox]

You need to cycle the hydraulics a lot to warm the fluid up bro!!

[denniskisejr]

Old Harvey sounds pretty darn good! Them dam hydraulic have so much little shit that can go wrong with them I remember a problem we had on a old timber jack skidder there was a pinhole in the hose putting air in the system we replaced everything before we got it working it got costly to do. Same snow is heading are way suppose to snow for the next week every day. Well keep warm burning that wood moisture or not!

[claycomb]

Thanks Kevin, for the awesome cold start👍 Harvey looks like a steam engine chugging along

Snow shovels and water hoses just like my dog

Howdy, got to love winter it's when everything breaks down. Looks like Northern Michigan. I hear Robins in the background they used to be the state bird of Michigan, but they migrate and leave for the winter. When the Robins come back, we know spring is coming. Love that tractor man what a work horse! Stay warm friend.👍

[jamesclark]

I used to take pan full of hot ashes fire coals put under my car or truck helps it warm up start easyer

[nicholasnapier]

I’ll get that tractor started every time either😂

[blackandredbiblestudy]

Sup homie. Robert here. Stay warm Get that driveway plowed

[MuskratOutdoors]

Holy Moly! You are getting buried with snow!! We only have a few inches here.
HA! Kie is sure having fun! Tractors are great! Sure beats shoveling that driveway!
9-10 inches? We have about 3-4 here at the house. Heck, that snowboard makes a dandy shovel. Good idea!
How are your rabbits doing? Any on a plate yet?
Anyway to hook a come along to your blade, then up behind the seat someplace? It would be a hassle, but then you could life the blade when you get stuck. If you don't have chains, try running a log chain round and round through the wheel spokes instead. Even rope works. I know one rancher here that uses baling string. Big bunches of it twisted into a loose kind of rope. I think he ads more every time he feeds his cows. Looks like crap, but it works!
