Been kinda quiet in the phot section lately... here's what we been up too.
Thanks Lavoy for all your help, knowledge and parts...she runs like a swiss watch.

Does the track on the right look alittle loose to you?

Maybe a little, but for snow use, I would leave it alone.
Make sure you don't over load that poor crawler with that big trailer.

Lavoy, a question for you. The snow pads have a hole in them for the snow to push out of you would adjust the tracks to normal spec's. Correct?
Digger, nice looking crawler. The trailer looks a little under built to be behind it.

Dan,

trailer was built for my Polaris 600 to haul wood. But with as much snow as we have now, ain't no way to get it up there now. Trailer is good for about a weeks worth of burnin, and maybe alittle underkill for the dozer...but it works great

Those two cyclinder engines are amazing. I realize that the trailer is not much of a load for it, but they will still surprise folks with what they will do.
You have the perfect deep snow firewood rig!

Temps here have been in the Teens ..single digits. It sets for about a week. No block heater or hose heater of any kind, and she pops off even with no choke about one turn of the starter.
Just have really impressed so far. Can't wait till this summer and see what it can do with the dirt and rock.

Although.... with the frozen ground up here, damn near throws you out of the seat pulling it out of the shead and on plowed spaces.
Thanks for all your comments

Depending on the ambient temp, you may still want to run then a little slack. The warmer the day, the worse the problem. Packed snow in a track on a warm day is little different than concrete other than it will melt eventually.

You must keep that 440 in the shed though, because I haven't seen it before.

Guy got stuck out on the farm... Tried to drive out back to do some shooting when there was deep snow on the roads. Luckily for him I was messing around in my shed. Since it was so cold I told him I'd pull him out with the 420 since none of the diesel tractors were going to get started for a while. He looked at it like you'd look at a pedal tractor but he was up for anything. It fired up on the first revolution and we headed out with a chain, hooked up, and I told him to just put it in neutral and let the little crawler do everything.

It was a fullsize pickup that he bogged going downhill, with a head start, in 4 wheel drive, in 2 feet of snow. That is how stuck it was. Hauled him right out of the mess without slipping once.
