Hmm.. that might just be reason enough to spring for those 2 1/2T military
axles that would stick out past the fenders.. no clearance issues with some
big turf terrains there... :)

Really though, I'm a victim of myself.. the more I think about how grossly
many variables to consider (even when starting off with only ONE type of
snow), things are gettin' ugly... 

May actually be a problem I don't have the time to solve!  Now *that* is
going to bug me.. :)
