Had a half mile of gravel road to clear on the farm and used my back hoe with a heated cab. Made it much better. Could use it in the summer and winter so saved me the cost of a snow blower for the tractor.
yup, i took the same principle
in the summer i use the plow truck as anyone would use a pick up
plus it allows me an extra vehicle for when one of the "main" vehicles are lend out or in the shop
not to mention i can drive this into town to fill up and not have to mess with jerry cans in the middle of winter
