Very effective. No different than the one on a tractor, it's just on a pickup.

I couldn't agree more! Where I work, we've got a nice sized, simple, straight parking lot that any decent plow truck driver could clean up in little to no time. BUT, we've also got a very tight turn around up by the front of the building. Last year, the company we used for snow removal only had trucks and plows and after every snow, the turn around basically had a small path trough it because the trucks couldn't navigate around the tight turns. This year, we are using a different company and they bring in a New Holland skid-steer with not only a big blade but a box attachment that the driver can put on or take off in mere seconds, similar to the picture below. He drops it, plows, then picks it back up and cleans up, it's really a slick system they've got.
