That is why I will never put a plow on my truck the plow with my tractor.
Plus my truck would be a monster to plow with.

plows SUCK. a good snowblower on a tractor is unbeatable, unfortunately its a little expensive and most tractors or loaders dont travel faster than 30mph.

Can't beat a plow for getting it done and then getting quickly from place to place. Walk-behind snowblowers take forever to do anything, bigger snowblowers are EXPENSIVE and snowblowers in general suck with slush. A loader is slow to transport without a trailer.

A truck mounted plow is where it's at for anything but lots. Snowblowers just suck really... can't make a single nice pile with a snowblower all too easily and that's what commercial accounts want.

Snowblowers with truck chutes kick *** for loading trucks to haul snow out and they're great if you've got a big space to blow snow to but past that... can't beat a truck mounted plow or loader with sectional pusher.
