We got off to a slow start here in VT, but with 3 feet in the past week, we're ramping up.
I spent all day pulling a roller and packing in the natural. Good stuff. Too many areas rely solely on the power tiller. The implements of yesteryear are not obsolete! Couldn't have done anything with a tiller out there today (rocks, waterbars, small trees, and such), but I was able to preserve a ton of snowpack with the roller. Not to mention I was burning about 3.5 gal/hour in a PB 300!
Only real pain in the ass was a couple of waterbars that were still running........... had to spend ten minutes beating the crap out of the roller every pass or two!
