A Very Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year to all of you and yours.
I am a new member here and am LEARNING, thanks to you. I grew up on a farm in Hokah, MN and always wanted an AC WD45. After all the years, the family, the grandchildren and now retirement, I have finally gotten one. You guys are helping me get it going again. I have now added to the collection a 3-14 plow, an 8 1/2' disc, a set of cultivators that I JUST got, and I'm going to look at a sickle mower if it ever quits snowing here in La Crosse, WI. The mower will probably have to wait till spring now...
May God bless you in the coming year...
MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR.
Ted from Wi.

WD45 - Great Choice. How much snow in Lax? I'm 60 mi. south and I think we only got 4-5", can't really tell - damn wind.

Hey Ted welcome. I think you need a snow plow for your wd-45. Mike from Onalaska! I also have a wd-45 and have just got a C. Everyone here is more than helpful on everything.

Heck, I even know where Hokah is. I lived in La Crescent when I worked at the La Crosse Works of Allis-Chalmers.
We must have 12-16" of snow on the ground here just north of Rochester, Mn.

It is really hard trying to figure out how much snow we have here, but I would guess that there is about 2 feet on the ground. The wind is REALLY howling now and the temp is single digits. I don't even want to know what the wind chill is!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too. There are a lot of good people here with a lot of good information.

Think for yourself and be your own expert. Be willing to change your mind; however, willingness to change your mind doesn’t mean that you will. Blindly following any path is the pinnacle of insanity.

All of these guys so close to me on here all of a sudden! We should have a get together around here! Congrats on the WD45 Ted. Hokah is a great town, drive through it alot on my way to LAX. I would guess we got 10-12" here in NE Iowa. That is about how much that was on the ground before the snow.

Greetings from Wisconsin Dells area. A few inches in open areas, and 4 feet near buildings. Took me 3 hours to do driveway and cow yard. Glad I put the plastic cab on skidloader.
