    Changing tracks sucks. My most hated task. I'd rather pull the engine to change a DPF than dick around with tracks for an hour.

    We studded up a couple rental machines with snowmobile ice studs. Customer seemed to like them.

    Had no problem plowing with one on flat ground and a big push box.

    Calling you all lunatics, was meant in a positive way.
    I'm just getting a tire machine, went out early this morning and looked at a 246C for sale. Not sure if its big enough to handle much of a snow blower or not.
    But probably is, and it comes with a bucket, and snow blade.
    Looked like a good machine for being a 2011.
    I plowed snow with it for 5 minutes, but just getting into it, and trying to run it is still hard. I'm not supposed to be doing much of anything until I heal, but do.

    Just did my neighbors road so she could get out to an eye appointment. Put the V-bar chains on all 4 lock the diffs and the little thing will go places you shouldn't.

    Yeap, same here. However on a 25% grade.....nah....hard pass on that. For me, I would never own a wheel machine again.....but I'm not climbing snowy/icy mountains with it either.....lol.

    If you look at Richie bros site, they put specs on there. The things to look for are weight, Hydro flow, and lift capacity.....imo.
    Just make sure the hyro flows enough for the blower you want, but not overpowering it. Alot of the machines you can put suitcase weights on aswell, they really help.
