    By discing in the snow you add stored moisture. How the snow helps the dry soil. 🙂 Nice video Mike.

    I love tillage in light snow. Makes an excellent contrast to watch. If it was cold enough that the snow wasn't melting right away, it wasn't going to overheat that engine. I can't see how that is much different than a semi tractor running down the highway hauling a full load with the wind screens over the radiator either fully or partially closed.
