We got 13" of the wet stuff yesterday and my neighbor's new HD John Deere with snowblower wouldn't move it. He asked me to clear his long uphill driveway with the 4Runner and then he used the blower as a plow to clear the bottom and around the mailbox.
When we first built this place I had a blower; two seasons of fighting that thing then spending a week in the Spring raking all the stones from the driveway out of the grass convinced me there had to be a better way so I went with a relatively inexpensive Snowbear plow for the truck and never looked back. I'm too old to sit out in the cold on a tractor. The 4Runner is nice and toasty warm, thank you very much.
