Hey Ring - how is the new machine lately been for your commercial jobs?

Do you think it is any more efficient, or faster then a truck with a V-plow? I plow some commercial lots and 2 gas stations where a skid might be nice, except for having to trailer the skid around.
I think a skid would be able to get real close to the gas pumps compared to a truck. Thanks.

What I have found on the 2 storms so far on my s205 that a 79" snowblower can do 120 hoa units drives in 3 hrs. The snowblower option is very sweet. I'm rented a case for another set and the 7ft bucket is very slow. Ordered a 8ft blade and been told expect to cut times in half.

While you might not want to buy a attachment depending on how this year plays out you may save the attachment price in labor/fuel.

If you have two operators it will be. If you solo and have to trailer the skid to every location it will slow you down.

Down side to blower is when you get 2 inches of snow or you catch a loose Belgian block that will take you off service
