** The day after the record breaking snow fall, Mike is out in full force trying to plow out some streets to help the neighbours get to work. Oh, but he quickly realized that work and school was cancelled for most parts of Swift Current and most likely the heavy hit areas of Saskatchewan. I guess you could say it was a "Snow Day"! 🙂😂
** Mike also quickly realized that those sewer lids in the streets are NOT fun to hit with the loader and tractor! 🤦
** Mike also just literally drove all over the city including down town just trying to help out anyone he could find 🙂

One time years ago my son and I were on our way hunting in my good old 69 Bronco and the front hub locked up. As I was checking it a farmer stopped and asked if I was ok. Told him I was and he told me that he would never leave someone by the side of the road. He stayed till I left and followed me for a few miles. I was so grateful for people like him. A week later I got to help someone else who was having truck problems.

Sort of the same thing, but the Amish I know are all heroes. We had a tornado rip through northern Pittsburgh area a few years back, the nearby Amish community literally cleaned up and rebuilt the entire town by hand and wouldn't take any sort of payment. 7 weeks they worked dawn to dust for nothing.

The funny is that tractors have *draft*, a ratio of their weight that they can pull through the material they are on. Softer material ends up being the same as harder, but when you put a tractor on softer material and try to run a drawbar draft into something harder you don't have anywhere near the force to play with. On soft-pack like that the tractor's draft is limited to the depth of the tread, so if it's trying to pull something buried deeper than the tread of the tractor the object must also be either much lighter or much narrower. That's how you determine how much tractor and tire you need for tillage. The cross section of tread combined with the soil's profile vs the amount of share you're trying to pull. If the draft is bigger than the share you move, if the share is bigger than the draft you don't... but the tires still spin. Its amazing that we spend $200k+ on giant fuel and maintenance hungry machines that literally cannot out-pull a team of horses... given you can't stick a shaft up a horse and get 540 rpm with 180ftlbs of torque.

Here in Minnesota and Wisconsin we just plow the majority of the snow off the roads to start with. As long as the snow isn’t piled up the cars can still drive. After most of it is gone plow trucks will try scraping a bit more off and spread sand. Winter is always a fun challenge.

Brings back some fond memories of the winter where the nearby remote steep country hill snagged about 18 travelers one winter. I used a 54 hp tractor with tire chains (no cab). Only one was during an active blizzard though. People knew not to travel during a storm, but didn't anticipate the time it would take for snow removal equipment to get out to us. Never took any money then either - just the way it is in the country.
