Because sitting in a UTV or ATV to move snow sucks when you could do it in the warm pickup.

Your logic sucks Chris. I would rather buy toys plus I dont mind wearing snow pants and a jacket. I do ride sleds too ya know. I am not afraid of the cold.

BTW change your sig already.

chris you are correct.

If it's a toy you want, find an old dentside, and get a set of mud tires for summer.

Growing up we found an old 79 with a plow. (IIRC) It had a 390 and full time 4x4. we filled the rusted out doors and cab corners with spray foam (otherwise the wind literally blew through the cab in the winter). So much fun- once it started getting muddy I'd get handed the keys (as a 13yr old), and just go trolloping through the woods and fields. I don't think the farmer was real happy when he went to go plant his crop that spring. But, for $800- was an absolute riot.

I have had both and while I like plowing with my 4wheeler cuz it is fun it does have its limitations such as much more than 8" to 10" and it gets really hard moving the snow also when those piles start to stack up its impossible to move them with the atv/utv ..But then again if Des gives you the go ahead to get at toy you have to jump on it..

I can always fully enclose it and add a 12v heater. Most important now is a winch and plow.

Exactly besides with a plow mounted on your truck it won't fit in your garage so now you would have to take the plow on and off all the time and it is not like you have a huge driveway to plow. Spend more time taking the plow on and off then pushing the snow.

Nah where is your sense of fun! I plow my yard and the neighbors with a cabless tractor and it don't bother me. You dress warm enough for it and its all good!

No thanks! That don't look like any fun compared to a Ranger!! That thing looks like a junk pile. There isn't even a title for it.
