There were refrigerated trailers using this lot. Reefer loads are time sensitive. Most dry van loads can wait... Hence, a customer's need for frequent scrapings, rather than one-hit wonders. We over the road drivers get sent onto lots at all hours. It only takes a pitcher's mound hump to get hung up with supersingle drive tires anywhere in the country. You guys did a beautiful job . No doubt the drivers appreciated it!

A.C Burke try more like $8k for a new plow. $1500 for a cheap burner truck, thousands more for a proper truck. Don't forget the plow mount, that's at least another $500-$800. Another commentator said it best and recommended a snow cage for that backhoe. That's how it's done in bigger lots with larger machinery at least. Getting everything used, outside of tires for a cheap plow truck can be done for as little as $5k, including the truck, less if you're real lucky. Your better plow truck setups will have an average starting cost of $20k and up.

I pushed parking lots with my B26 for years. I pushed with my angle blade rotated to the rear and “ backed” the snow where I wanted it. I used my four in one to clear side walks and pull snow out of parking spaces. I had bought a Kubota Grand L 4750 with a cab the last time it snowed in December (2010) thinking we might have winter. It didn’t snow for four years and my bush hogging dried up during the awful Obama economy so I sold it and my L4400. I loved those tractors. Still have the 26

1990', Rochester, NY. My first paycheck from plowing with my own F250 was 1800 bucks. Not including driveways and smallish C-stores. Just plowing for Wegman's. Our local grocery store and warehouse. Buddy, it was nice making a pile of money for having fun in my own truck and listening to music. I built a 9' wood bed on that truck and added a 90 gallon fuel tank just behind the cab. Once I'd get to the site, I'd have the loader put a load on my bed and probably 90% of the time I was plowing in 2wd. Other guys didn't believe me until they got into my truck and they shifted it. I think I made somewhere in the $400.00 range betting I was in 2WD!! Other guys tried it, but didn't have the suspension to handle the weight. That 250 had several extra leaves front and back. The best part, we had a deal that whomever needed gas bought coffee for all. I NEVER had to run for fuel!! lol..... Build it right or don't bother....... ;)

Haha, in NM and we a good 8-10" and I had a days worth of work for my backhoe. It's all about location and having the equipment ready to go when the calls come in. We are expecting more in a couple days so I'm hoping to be back to work making denero (North of the 'Wall"). Doesn't matter to me if they want 1/2" or 2ft dug out, if they're paying, I'm burning diesel! We don't get these often but when we do people panic and want it scrapped before the sun comes out so it will melt faster and they keep business. Same here, the city only plows the 'major' or more used roads, county and state, only the ones they feel like. Getting around isn't a problem, having enough people and equipment when the storm hits is. At least we can still work whatever the weather. Happy New Year all!!!

The maintenance guys used loaders with pushers, sometimes the roadgrader. Pickup truck and a plow and skidsteer. Spread some salt. They would tear up so much stuff. Hardest place to plow was all the railroad crossings. Nothing like stopping on a dime. Maybe you need a snowblower on back of your new tractor and a plow on the front. Some wheel weighs as well

You've had more snow then I've had to plow this year in Wisconsin. So far this year I've pretty much only done salting. -_-

No offense, I realize everything is relative but hearing you say 4-5 (when it looks more like 1-3) and then using words like overwhelming makes us northern folks chuckle a bit. It doesn't seem worth burning diesel fuel to scrape those tiny amounts given it will probably all be melted in a day. Like I said, it's all relative I guess. :-)

We had about 5" during the video on the grass but it was melting fast on the pavement lol. But they wanted me to scrape so I scrape

Not sure what your weathermen said but here in Denver they said you would get 1-2 feet of snow.

Its supposed to be a cold and snowy winter for you all. It got down in the mid 20's at night last week, but popped back up to the 40's.

Was it 60 degrees the next day? Sorry, that's normal Michigan weather too. I always look a few days out to see if I should even shovel, it just with for the weather to change enough that it melts away on its own

I'm guessing using the skid steer with tracks wouldn't have made a big difference instead of using the tractor?

Seems to me it would be more cost effective to push that snow with one of your pickup trucks and snowplow. One man operation $$$.
