And I bought a tractor, a
RED one with a cab

. I'll post up some photos soon enough, it's in the shop at the moment. Thanks for your guidance
@Bamabww. Most appreciated!
Few more items I need to take care of before winter really hits. I'm going to be buying tire chains made by a company outta Finland called Ofa - I figure the Finns know a thing about driving on ice/snow. They are studded chains that will stay on the tractor all winter long and should help me get up the road that's 7% grade just outside the property. I have R-4 tires on the tractor and there is just no way I want to risk it sliding and getting damaged.
Still have to figure out if I'm gonna buy a snow pusher or a snow plow. There are benefits to both, just haven't decided on which one I'm going to pursue.
Picked up a 6' offset rear blade for the tractor a few weekends ago off of FB marketplace about 3 hours east of me for a great deal. This will give me the ability to also move snow from the rear PTO. If I had to guess the rear blade weighs about 400lbs. Somehow 4 of us managed to cram it in the back of my LC. I had 3 hours of driving to figure out how I'm gonna get this outta the LC by myself. I have an embankment off the driveway that I was thinking would be nearly level to the tailgate. Sure enough, it was perfect. So I used my 45 to winch the rear blade outta the back.

). Funny thing, there was a small black bear track through this clearing, noticed this as I was getting things setup to winch it out. Those yellow trees are Larches - they are my favorite trees.
