Interesting. My Cat 226 seems underrated in this area. It's been tipped
over on its front several times by loads that just didn't seem *that* heavy
to me. Hmmph. But I like the controls much better than the Case. :-)

I don't live in a snow area...I'm just curious...do you have to put chains
on it for snow removal? Or tracks? Studded tires? (Can't imagine those
lasting long, but they probably exist...)
