I couldn't wait until I had daylight.

WOW and then WOW again! It looks like a large boat prow!

Queries#1 & 2 What width is one swath? How would you clear a large space?

Query#3: When you plow out a lot of snow that's not in a wooded area, what will you do with the snow?
We had so much piled up so high, there's been talk of making the plowers clear some away, pushing it I guess to what would have to be designated areas. I doubt anything will be done, but townspeople have been complaining.

Query #4 How much weight does it add to the truck

Most Important Query #5 Should I come down when there's snow, will you at least let me pretend to drive it?

OMG, it's gorgeous!

  1. It depends on if the plow is in V, scoop, angle, or straight position. It's a 9'2" blade, though.
  2. It depends on the size and shape of the space and the depth and the weight of the snow.
  3. Wooded area/not wooded area has the same issues - you need to push the snow back out of the way. Can't plow through woods, can't plow through parking lot medians, houses, meters, cars, etc. You push snow where it's legal to do so, where it's not going to block visibility at a road edge, and where the property owner says to push it. You charge more if you need to remove the snow using something like this. Sounds like your townsfolk need to gather together a collection and buy one for the municipality - they might even appreciate it!
  4. 842 pounds
  5. Sure, you can sit in the passenger seat and pretend all you want! =)

And you turned the lights on, too!

It does look like a boat.

Thinking snow...
