Chepbeater,

I'm from Ohio and the shot of my truck trying to extract the tractor shows they're both off the edge of where my driveway is (under all that snow). I was plowing the driveway with the tractor and got off the edge, which is a ditch that heads into a stream. Both the tractor and the truck got too close to the drop off.

How many of your trucks are 2WD? My wife is in Canada right now with my beast but there's no snow where she is. I was bummed to find out. I also can't wait until it snows out here in Afghanistan. I'll take pics of me not getting stuck in my Humvee.
Our Humvees use either Goodyear Wrangler M/Ts or BF Goodrich M/Ts but they aren't like the ones you see on their websites. These are either old or special ordered.

You're telling me! I had to drive a Humvee from North Carolina to Virginia and back.
8 hour drive with tires that were out of alignment and unbalanced.
The vibrations were putting me to sleep.

I know i am a 2gen but figured I'd post. Gunna get better pics later =) (We got another 8-10inches on top of whats in the pic which is a foot). P.s Our house is the one on the left thats mostly cut off. So you can imagine our driveway in winter. (there is another 1/3 of a mile down to the main gravel road. (all down hill lol).
