My turf tracer with the plow blade on it plowed the snow we had! Total snowfall was around 7" with 1" of ice sandwiched in between. I had to put tons of weight on the front end but it did pretty well, I did 25 driveways and had no real problems, The tire chains I had did not work because they would have ripped the hydro lines up but I did not even need them, it had no traction problems at all. I hope I didnt do any unseen damage to the mower though? Next year I will be getting a truck plow though, it is tough getting out there in the cold. I saw alot of people around here using bobcats and hoes. Around here the problem is you never know how much snow youre going to get so it is hard to justify big snow removal equipment, This was our first major snow this year, and we probably wont get much more. Mowing is so much better!

do you have them all right next to each other? I imagine they are all small driveways?

Some of them were right next to each other and they were all within the same 3 cities, and most were smaller drives. Also the storm hit on tuesday, and I finished on Friday, so some didnt get done right away but they were properties that no one lived there. Overall I made $1050. I could have made alot more with a truck plow. This storm was the type we dont see to often and I was suprised the turf tracer did that well. but I dont think it could handle many storms like that.

Ya Im sure if you lived in a state that saw snow on a serious scale that you would throw that blade in the garbage....
