Made it out for a great walk around the fields and woods on snowshoes this afternoon.

Getting ready to #plow some #snow with the #Farmall #460. #snowplowing #winterinwisconsin #winter #selfie #redneck #camo

Does filming a 50 year old tractor with the latest in Go Pro technology makes me a "High-Tech Redneck"?

You just have to like a 52 yr old Farmall tractor that's still going strong...even if you're a John Deere fan.

This is our 1962 Farmall 460 that we still use to plow snow.

Then be sure to click on the link to "Vote" for the video.

1. Layout the chains

2. Tie a couple of twine strings thru the wheel hubs.

3. Tie the twine to the center of the chains.

4. Drive the tractor forward. The chains will lift right around the tires. Drive until the chains are all the way around. Then hook up the latches.

This is what just shy of 16 inches of snow looks like when we get a snowstorm on May 2.

The darn stuff just won't stop falling.

Anyone want to plow my driveway?
