Snow in the U.K.

Recommended Posts

Tony S

We had our first snow of the winter here in Buckinghamshire last night. So it was the first chance for me to use my snow - plough on a 1982 C - 105 I have been restoring. I live in the Chiltern Hills and was concerned that without wheel weights I would struggle up the hills, but the tractor coped brilliantly and took it all in its stride.

You could use some (almost 7 gallons) of either windshield washer fluid or RV antifreeze in those rear tires for weight, it helps a lot .

Nice pics, btw...

Hi Mike, my driveway is only a few yards long. The photo was taken on the road outside my house.

The local authority never plough the small lanes in this area and they don't supply snow ploughs for us farmers to use, so I spent all morning clearing some of the roads in the village where I live. I also use it to clear the farm yard and the car park for some office units we rent out. I would make a day of it if I could! :notworthy:

For Steve another picture of that other tractor.

Hi Tony, great pictures thanks for sharing :notworthy:

This snowplowing lark is great fun, much more fun than cutting the grass :thumbs:

How much snow did you get? About 8 inches over here in Kent.
