Some of us even have a plow on our ATV…

If you don't have time to do it right will you have time to do it over?
One of my techs had an ATV with a plow, I thought about getting one but figured a tractor with a backhoe would ne more useful in the summer.

I made an attachment to put a 3-point snowplow on my b-2. I no longer own either.


And this is what I have now;

A plow on a small truck would be way better then a backhoe or bike.

Heat in the cab. :)

My credo
Its probably better to be self deprecating than self defecating.
I’ve always said if I moved out of Pa I would go north. Probably southern Maine or NewHampshire.
Vermont is nice too. I would have too look into it.

Definitely a bit colder.
Come to Maine. NH sucks. No sales tax, but they more than make up for it elsewhere. Speed limits for atvs/snowmobiles/boats, "live free or die" state will still fine you 1200$ for having a joint... junk.

Well, logic suggests it easier to put more clothes on, than to take them off. You can only go so far and remain legal AND, even if you go all out it's no guarantee you'll be cooler;)

This is my last summer in FL. If I'm lyin', I'm dyin'.
Tell that to my arthritic mechanics hands that have to do things on a cold flight line with no gloves because you need the dexterity that gloves won’t give you in a tight space.

Heat?!?! I have heated hand grips, is that good enough?

I usually wear a sweatshirt to plow the driveway. I don’t mind cold weather.

I've been considering getting a plow for the kodiak... how well does that setup work when there's a foot of wet snow?
I’ve had this since 2013. The only thing that ever stopped it was a 4’ wall of plowed road snow at the head of the driveway. I used the neighbors skid steer.

I said the same thing when someone told me about the plow they put on their side by side. They told me “ you may as well be sitting on couch watching tv “.

Absolutely I’d rather be inside on the couch then cleaning up snow. :)

I bolted a couch to an old hood and got towed around while drinking... Does that count for anything?

Done my time on wind swept ramps servicing my jet in 20* weather. Young hands feel it too. I don't doubt your claim.
