Don't look at us. Even with a diesel one ton, there's no way that I'd be able to get it out of the back 40. Not that the thought hasn't surfaced on occasion.
Hehe Yeah.
I plan on heading out to my sister's place, to check on the boat.
With all these snow storms, I figure I'll make sure it's ok for snow load.
2 feet so far. One from a "Colorado Low", and now you guys are sending a "Alberta Clipper" with a projected 6 inches more.
Last year we had almost no snow.
They have a tractor, with both snowblower and bucket attachments, so if I ever get fed up, I can dig it out, and give it a shot.
The only towing I've done on winter roads, was in the city with a dual axle flat deck, but as long as someone kept an eye on the weather, had good tires, and kept their speed down, it would be fine.
For us, while it's colder (which usually means dry highway conditions), it's a straight shot south to the gulf coast, with no mountain passes to deal with.
I'd have to get better tires on my truck. Even with the weight of a 3/4 HD diesel, they slide around on anything in winter. I don't drive the truck in winter so I've not bothered to get better ones.
The real problem, for us, is efficient holiday time use. As they say, nothing goes to windward like a 747 flying to the harbour where your bareboat is waiting.
