When I took my John Deere 1010 out one year to plow snow the only way I was able to get good traction was to scrap to the gravel drive or keep one track on the yard. But then depending on temps' and snow condition the tracks can build up with snow leaving the grouser useless to bite in the ground. I never used a dozer for plowing after that, it is a helpless feeling until you get traction again. Get an old 4x4 pickup with a plow and add chains to it would be the safer way. Just my thoughts hope it helps. Hi Al,
