I’m prepared for the 2"-4" expected. I set up the 3 plow trucks, checked on the two Deere tractors and got to play on the skid steer tonight.

It’s been about 10 years since I’ve played on a skid steer loader. (Just like riding a bike lol.) These things have changed a lot! This sucker has A/C and heat, AM/FM with an input jack, an actually comfortable seat, no foot controls except for a throttle pedal and a “mouse fur” headliner with a “sunroof”. My only complaints are that the design is dreadfully dated and the plastics feel Tupperware cheap.

No.. Not really. I can’t wait to run this in the heavy stuff now.

I got in our tractor at work the other day(a year or two old JD) and was surprised with the interior. It felt like a mid 2000's truck interior. I understand a skid loader sunroof but this thing also had one. They certainly make running machinery worthwhile these days. I’m planning on going to a farm and machinery show in a couple months to be properly amazed.

They keep revising our forecast for Tuesday. It started out as 3-6 inches, then up to 4-8, now they’re saying 2-4. I like that better. The temperature is going to drop to single digits, though. I hate that.

We’re supposed to get that Arctic cold crap too soon. That’s the only part of winter I don’t like. I’m good until the below zero stuff comes.
