Yeah... something like a truck mounted plow. All metal with a lot of testicular fortitude!

The truck mounted plow went to Andy's neighbor's house today when the snowblower failed to clear the driveway.

Two of our loaders are/were out cleaning up North Branford roads. The guy over the hill from us said we should send our loaders out the town wanted more loaders. We said no thanks but he could use our loaders if he needed them so he borrowed both for the day.
