Our First Winter in the New House

We may have chosen the wrong year to move out to the country.  This winter so far we have had almost 60" of snow and temperatures well below normal.

Two hours later, one broken tow strap,
one broken tie-down and a lot of digging,
 I was able to pull the truck out far enough
 to drive off the drift

The tractor is a Wheel Horse 1056.  It has a
10 HP Kohler and was made in 1966.  This
winter has shown how sturdy this little tractor
really is, but it has  had a LOT of trouble
with the amount of snow we got.
Snow piled to the top of the retining wall
This retining wall is about 7' high at this point
