I didn't ask for your life story, just answer the question!
I said the same thing when someone told me about the plow they put on their side by side. They told me “ you may as well be sitting on couch watching tv “.

Absolutely I’d rather be inside on the couch then cleaning up snow. :)
That’s my next plan (to put one on 1 of my SxS’s). But I also have a heater for that SxS.
It’s not for me, my wife bought the heater. She said put the heater and a plow on it, and she’ll plow the driveway while I’m at work. (She’s afraid of the quad. She was a passenger on one that flipped over when she was younger.)

She wanted the heater on the plow? I guess that would help clearing the snow faster...

1st: You guys don’t have heated plows?!?!

2nd: I clearly said heater AND a plow. The AND part of that sentence shows that I was talking about 2 separate items that need to be installed to result in my wife plowing the driveway.

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.

She’s still not going to do it.

refer to episodes like this:

her: If the truck has air conditioning, I’ll go off-roading with you.

me (after hundreds of dollars in A/C parts); Honey, do you want to go wheeling up in the mountains today? It’s a beautiful day.

her; No. I don’t feel like doing my hair and makeup to go out.

me; I’ll be home around dinner time.

Done my time on wind swept ramps servicing my jet in 20* weather. Young hands feel it too. I don't doubt your claim.
If you mean 20 above zero, that barely qualifies as cool.

Come to Maine. NH sucks. No sales tax, but they more than make up for it elsewhere. Speed limits for atvs/snowmobiles/boats, "live free or die" state will still fine you 1200$ for having a joint... junk.
Gee thanks.
I consider NH, Maine, and the peoples republic of Vt to be New England- Western Mass is OK, too, in a lot of ways. I've never heard of speed limits for those things, either. I gave up smoking pot around 1980 when they started spraying stuff on it to soup it up so I don't care about that. It frosts my ass when I pay for something out of state and sales tax gets added on at the register- it should be included in the price displayed on the shelf.

When I bought my tractor I planned to put a plow blade on it but the bucket is handier. If the snow bank gets too high I can scoop up snow and move it. I just have to be careful about the angle of the bucket if the ground isn't solidly frozen or I do some unintentional landscaping.

Its probably better to be self deprecating than self defecating.
Gee thanks.

YOU'RE alright, not a fan of how your state runs though 😋

NH has speed limit signs on most trails, 35mph. Your allowed to do a whopping 45 If the trail doesn't have a posted limit -__- pathetic. Same thing with at least some of your lakes.. a guy I work with has gotten fined for going too fast across lake Winnipesaukee on his sled. He wasn't anywhere near anyone else.. just hauling ass down the middle of the lake. Illegal 🙄.

Try the pot again. People have really figured it out over the past 4 decades lol, most everyone is all organic now. NEEDS to be organic up here to be sold.

They keep the corn plant parts from clogging up the engine bay area since a lot of tractors don't have an enclosed engine bay area.

Probably similar to “orchard tractors”
