It's Scotch.
You gotta look at what i am doing to my truck plowing. I've put $150 in fuel in my truck since Friday, $75 in broken plow parts. The truck ran for 10 hours straight on Saturday. Beating the crap out of my truck probably isn't worth it.

its really hard on the transmission and the front end part plowing especially with the amount of snow we got because you are trying to push alot more weight. you see alot of plow trucks in the shop getting their transmissions rebuilt every season. a snow blower is alot easier on the truck because you are not having to push the weight of the snow and you are not going forward to reverse as much.

Pics from the 50's and 60's of back home. Town of Florida N.Y., Mohawk Valley. My Dad and Uncle worked there, I filled in when schools were out. BUT they didn't close unless milk trucks couldn't get thru!!

We can not do anything to change the weather. You can be grumpy about it if you wish but I chose to accept the fact that I can not do anything about it. Me saying bring it on is not going to make us get more snow. If you can not accept that Mother Nature will do what she pleases then I guess you can choose to have a bad day/week/month/year. I for one will accept it and make the most of it that I can.
I like the V plow myself, wish i had one. You can cut right through the deep snow no problem, mine pushes you to the opposite side of the angle. But they are very expensive like $4-$5K. Look for a used plow.
Which Jeep are you referring to. Either one i haven't been on Mt. road in a while.
I think there's a stock muffler up by the Cave burried under a few feet of snow. You can have it in the spring when we can find it again.

I have to replace the carburetor on my snow blower. I found a place that could one and have it here in a week or less. Have to make sure I don't let it get store wrong again. Live and learn.

Hitting banks of snow repeatedly with the 4 wheeler with plow messed me up pretty good. Circulation in my hands is all jacked up with fits of pain. I am sure it is something will heal with a little bit of time. To be on the safe side I have to go back to see the doctor in the AM.
Thanks for the info on the plows. Still just a thought I might look into.
Peace
The reason i couldn't plow anyone's driveways is there was no where to put the snow, and i'm sure you don't want a 10' pile in front of the garage. It was too deep to drive over and back drag like i usually do.
