Hi All!
I had to get access to my property for the first time this winter to get some equipment in and out.
Pony fired right away and did a great job of conditioning the main engine in sub zero Celsius weather. Worked like a champ clearing snow. 
I won't make a habit of doing it though. The snow builds up a lot of pressure in the undercarriage. Now I understand why snow tracks have holes. To allow the snow to escape.  All was well when I kept the snow plowed to ground level.
My buddy Dave features in the pics.

Hi Dizzel, Good job! Those starting engines sure add to the longivity of the main engine when used properly the way you do. Nice pictures, thanks for posting them!

That's what we like to see - a huge grin, enjoying some yellow amongst the icy white fluff! : )

Loosening the tracks a bit will help.
