I agree, although if you mostly had dry powder snow a garden tractor with a bunch of weight will move a surprising amount. Other than the 2 1/2 foot blizzard we had last year my Cub Cadet 70 (7hp) has never been overwhelmed by snow. It would be even better if I fluid filled the tires and added a weight box and another set of wheel weights.
That said Jamie lives in Jersey. His problem will be that his snow is almost always wet and heavy... A ride on snowblower is going to be nice for his long drive. A walk behind snowblower is MUCH more manuverable... -Curt Date: Mon, 12 Aug 2013 10:53:31 -0500 From: Randy Bennell <[email protected]> To: Mercedes Discussion List <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] John Deere 318 Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed If you get much snow where you are, I have to think you would be better off with a blower attachment than a plow. If you geta blower, you might also want to watch for a cab as having the snow blow back in your face is not much fun either.
