SEAT TIME
No seat time here yet. Everything in Central Iowa is covered in a layer of ice this morning. Good thing it's New Years Day and I've got no where to go except the couch.

lbrown, enjoy your warm weather! I've still got ice covering everything at my place. Not as bad as northern Iowa, but still bad enough that I'm not trying the 15 miles to town.
Supposed to get more crap today as well. Should make for a fun Monday morning drive to work. I like winter, but not the ice storms.
Hardwood, glad to know you made it around safely. It looked bad out there. I stayed it after watching my dog almost bite it on my ice covered gravel driveway. I may have to take the tractor out there today to bust up the ice. My driveway is a downhill slope. I'd like the wife to be able to stop before the road!

Got seat time last night. I put my blade on the 3pt and drove it around to make sure everything was good for the snow this evening. Forecast is for 6" to 14". So that will get me even more seat time. No biggee since that's why I bought the new tractor. The MFWD was awesome on the ice last night.

You want bummed? I got up at 5 am this morning to move the snow out of the driveway for the first time with my 4310 I bought this fall. Guess what? No snow on the driveway!! The wind direction combined with the ice covering the driveway and some minor elevation adjustments I made to the driveway has resulting in no snow to move. First time I've had this happen to me at this place (3rd winter).
I have a drift in front of the shop and I expect I'll have snow to move when I get home. But I was really interested in seeing how the 4310 worked at clearing snow.

Lbrown, I'll take lots of snow over flooding any day. Situations like that just make a mess of everything. At least with snow you can just hole up in your house. Flooding means you gotta try to get out of the house before it gets there!
Still no snow in the driveway when I got home. Just getting the right combo of elements to keep the snow from collecting on it. The solid ice probably helps.

I'm happy to report the 4310 worked better than I had hoped for when clearing the snow. I could go up and down the ice covered driveway while draging a blade with about 4-6" of snow with no problem. I love this little tractor!! Bring on the snow!
