You might want to look at a set of tracks for the Gator. I've seen some on ATVs, they look like a ball...just never had the cash in hand. They don't have nearly the speed of a snowmobile...but they have reverse and 4 track drive. I hate getting a sled stuck. Or rather unstuck. It's the closest I've come to a heart attack.

Don't want to spend the money on those puppies. It does have a winch though.

Great looking rig, love the exoskeleton and bumpers. Just curious...do you tend to run into things a lot?

That's for in case we hit a moose.

My husband bumps things with the tractor every now and then so he thought it would be a nice option to protect the body from the frontloader.

Not a bad idea...I have enough dents in my shop to prove that I do too.

No kidding. I think my Xterra was dragging on the way out the drive. I'm not looking forward to plowing tonight, supposed to warm up. That white kaka will be real wet and heavy.

I don't do snow. Jim will head out on the tractor and snowblow it maybe...or more likely the nice man with a plow truck will come and move the bulk of it.
