I had an old GMC K2500 with a 7.5" Western plow, but the truck died last year. My drive is a little more than 600' so it really came in handy. This year I ended up buying a 36" snow blower with a 15HP engine. Boy does this thing throw some snow! It only took me 30 min. to do the whole drive along with a 45'x60' parking area and a 32' wide apron going up to my garage. I have to admit it was warmer and easier in the truck. Looks like I'll get a chance to run the snow blower again in the morning.

Did I get that right?!? Before you got the plow kit, you were clearing your driveway in 10 minutes! Or is driving your rig exercise?

LOL, I should have quoted BigBlue along with my post..
Now you've got me confused..

It didn't get done before I got the plow..just drove through it..

That looks like total fun! Do you have chains for that thing or do you need em? Glad I don't live there actually, one or two days of snow is fun, but enough for me. I bet it's purdy too.

No chains needed, four wheel drive, (full 4X4) busts through the snow just fine..and I could live without this Winter weather myself..

As Gelan said guys...send some of that nice cool comfy looking snow down here...my fridge is working overtime trying to keep the beer cold.

That is a nice looking rig you got there Glockster...what brand is it mate? It certainly looks like it would be a great unit to go hunting in when ya don't feel like walking a heck of a long way.

Cheers, Vince

We still need a cooler for the beer, but in our case it's to keep it from freezing.
