Argo’s are a heck of a tool, get you places that you don’t necessarily want to be!
Stop in for a cup of coffee

Not to many. Mine is the closer one. Was going to build it up but then was thinking I would need a rail to keep the vehicles from falling off. Worst I have had is a car goes backwards and ends up sideways. Unfortunately the only way in or out of here. Neighbors sucks for sure.

Ok that’s funny right there!
Right now it sucks since it has been so cold nothing to do cant really scrape it either. 30's today come on coal ash!
Need plugs? Need to list them.
Probably a challenge to keep it clear with what you can get for snow. Yeah, I'd be leary about building an "edge", gravity and physics might get ya!
I can see sliding off it. At least now it is the same grade.
Chains to me are actual chain, with the cams. Similar to what the semi-trucks run.mild temps makes snow slicker than goose ****.
My power wagon with 35” tires would go where very few trucks would go.if i could stay on top.
The conditions you are facing,argo may be the answer. Or trudge…
The last time it was used by telecom techs it broke down, needed a belt. My co-worker took his snowmobiles and an extra belt out to it and rescued it. The driver walked 6 miles out, not sure of all the particulars but concerning. I don't know how old it is, or if they are still made. We just blew a fuse at our Rockport site, it would be worse to get into than most, may have to use it for that. I prefer driving a snow cat in.
Need driveway heat. Wood fired! Or coal.
Yes, one set of those is cable chains, which aren't really chains I agree. I prefer heavy links, with ice breakers, cams. I don't want to "trudge" because of what I'd have to drag up there and realize I forgot something...
Kubota called me yesterday, chains for the tractor are in. I hope I'm not disappointed, told them no Chinese sh#t, cost a bit so hoping good ones. I can ask the HOA to pick up the tab since I'm using them to keep the road clear.
Another co-worker retired, like many seem to do he bought his retirement truck. I've never heard of a Rivian, electric truck.

They are definitely pricey, high maintenance vehicles. I spend anywhere from 2-5k each per season in repairs and maintenance on ours. But they spend a lot of time in brackish tidal marshes and freshwater marshes. That type of environment especially in the summer takes a toll on these things. It would be tough if not impossible to do our job without them.
We just bought 3 to replace some that have been in service 20+ years and I’m rigging them now.
You need a few Rokons!
They will go anywhere! Cool bikes. You can put gas or water inside the rims!

I heard about those a month or two ago. Pretty cool they are a start up company. Pretty gutsy nowdays. I wish them the best.
Dang, look at those? Ever figure out who made them for Mopar?
Champion. I have a bunch of loose ones also in the individual boxes. Need the space.
Any Mitchyson updates?
Mattracks
Studded snow tires is what you need.

Sort of a friend had one in HI. Dam thing would go up a 60 degree incline. Think of a two wheel drive rock crawler.
Good Morning Everyone. I hope all is well out here. Not much to report from WI. Just need to finish up some house projects and wait out the winter. Can't wait for MITP!!
