Right up the road from you, actually! In New Durham, just shy of Wolfeboro.

I've got a bit of landscaping, road/driveway maintenance, logging and rock moving to do - so the tractor definitely made more sense than a plow for the truck! While I HAVE plowed dirt and moved rocks with a plow truck before, it's certainly not my, uh, first choice.

Haha, no sh¡t! My uncle lives in new durham. He has a welding business, sign for it is right off rte 11 almost directly across from that blue gas station(farmington end).

Glad to see more and more people from NH on here! Lol

I wish there were more Nebraskans on here. Too many hot headed farm boys who don't know anything about their trucks driving around.

Our kind neighbor scraped my drive after the heavy Octavia snow storm. The Mud Claws on the 98 cleared snow easily from the cleats. Best tires I've ever operated with, in a 4x4.

It's great to have good neighbors. K.

Swapped in a new headlight harness for the plow wiring yesterday, and today plowed some snow!

Also, hooked up my light bar today. Now everything is complete!

I really need to get different tires. These mts suck in the snow!

Drove to Canton Ohio to pick up a snowblower. Little over 200 miles one way. Truck did great until about a 100 miles on the trip back. (about halfway home....) Engine started losing power, truck started slowing down..... engine was missing badly. Turned off O/D, and slowed to about 55 for a while, to try and cripple it to the next service plaza....... CEL blinked a bit, then came on solid..... but, after a few miles, it recovered, and started running on all 8 again.... No clue what that was all about. I will check codes tomorrow, and see what it has to say. No cat, crank sensor was replaced a couple years ago, cam sensor is original though.... coil has been replaced as well.

Got back home running just fine. Wonder if I had something in my gas, or something else strange. But, all in all, a fun trip. Even got to 'off-road' a bit in some guys yard. Had to drive back to pick up the snowblower, as his tractor had a flat, and wouldn't go thru the foot or so of snow they had. Truck went thru it just fine.

Snowblower is a Mckee Sno-lander 320. It's five feet wide. Goes on the front of my tractor. I am gonna LOVE that.

How's the condition of the weather seal between hood and cowl?

Ya know, you've just created the perfect conditions for a decade of drought by buying that cool snowblower.
