Just reading back through your thread. Like the photo stop in Ballater, that just over the hill from my house (I live near Alford). The Lecht and Bridge of Brown must have been interesting? Feels like it wont be long before you will be needing that plough.

The climb up from Corgarff was a bit interesting, there was a lot of smoke coming frim rhe engine bay (turned out to be a piece of the cover seal touching the exhaust manifold!) i was concerned that it was overheating... Engine braking does work so torque converter isnt really an issue, brakes are a bit soft but thats not a bad thing for what its going to be used for.. Not so great on steep hill descents!!!

I can't wait to see some pictures of it in action. That's a solid looking plough!

Great photos and video, you have a lot more snow on your side of the hills than over on this side.

We had another dump of snow last night, then frost so i was out again early this morning to clear the gate of the park .. Not so easy to do the drive through arable area with the Yak in the way!!

You must be the only person who has a problem with Yak while you snow plough.

The park looks great in the snow and I expect the polar bear really looks the part. Might try to come over for a day out with my family over the Christmas holidays.
