The back roads were soft, you had to be really carful with the wing and plow digging in, I was steady on the hand pod control for the wing and plow adjusting, drug the main blade which helped filled in the gap between the plow and the wing spillage, the 150AWD pushed its way through 2ft of snow with ease, no chains required on this trip, our other 140m had to chain up to get through, studded front tires made a big difference on the steep hills, a little bit of front wheel spin than they would grab and away you go up the steep hills, I must say i'm impressed, this machine would climb trees fully chained up with front studded tires, time will tell though, icy slippery roads could be a game changer, never lost our damaged any of the studs, had a great night overall.
