I'd LOVE to have that tuff doodlebug for my snowplow up here north! A snowplow does not need cabin nor windows, heck , them would only be steamed inside & frost up outside. Good thick woolen pullover, knit cap and fur coat is what keeps man warm not to forget woolen socks and heavy leather boots. Cabins are for sissies. p.s. Only issue I can see, the plow plate itself is tiny... especially it is not tall enough in vertical direction. You cannot do much with a low small "bar" like that... However, the main thing, the engine is loaded with torque - the plow is easy to fix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Ed Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 I wonder how many neighbors driveways I'd have to do to pay for that thing??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put a cab and heater in it,and pay for it clearing your neighbors driveways. Maybe even some shopping center parking lots. It's just too damn cold in Mn to not have a cab and heater on a snow plow.

greg g Posted December 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 Well I use a 10hp open Wheel Horse with a 48 inch blade. So the wider blade would shorten my process and move the heavy stuff from the road plows quicker also. So with a set of wind pants, a parka, warm boots, good gloves, and a hat I am pretty well set to my 14x120 driveway. It really hasn't showed since Thanks giving so will just keep hoping the snow fairy stays away... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Coatney Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 Looks like my son in Buffalo has a bit of snow. They belong to my Fudd hat club so they stay warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Hiebert Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 That would be a fine snow-plow in northern Maine, too. It's short for good maneuverability, and an airplane tug should have good weight, but it'd still need chain. I echo Uncle Pekka's sentiment, it has a construction blade on it, would need a much higher blade to work well here, typical good snow day is 12-18 inches, bad ones are 18-24. We've already got two feet on the ground this year. Uber cold and windy here, too. I don't currently have a tractor or riding plow, but I've used my neighbor's without a cab in the winter - the clothing is easy (for here), and I just wear my snowmobile helmet. Looks goofy as all get-out, but works quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
