Residential drive ways 1 or 2 passes each, gave up commercial lots 12 years ago

Don’t blame you for that. Commercial is a Head ache. Apartments and condo’s suck balls but that’s where the money is.

i know a couple guy who do resi driveways. $30-40 a pop, 2 guys in a pick up with single stage blowers and shovels, and they don’t carry insurance. All cash deals.

This plow is 20 years old and on its second truck. It’s gone through 2 pump motors and 3 cutting edges. Trip springs replaced twice. It owes me nothing. I considered replacing it with a Vee this year but I love it too much. I wore the pivot points right out of it several years ago and had them replaced. 
It’s now a backup for the other trucks or mine when I join the guys. Trucks has a 6.0 with 330k kms.

She old school design. 2 inch angle and lift cylinders. Slow and solid. 
 

This one was my son’s until he decided to go back to university. Now the new guys truck.

The snowblower operator hit one in the parking lot where I work.  Blew the rear window right out of the tractor

Just remembered, my brother In-law used to plow for a friend of mine in a backhoe. He hit a catch basin with the bucket one night and put his head through the windshield.

 

A guy told me a story a few years back about a guy he worked with. The guy plowed with a big Loader. Liked to stick his head out the side slider window to see curb lines. One night he caught the curb and cut half his ear off on the window glass.

We use Fishers around these parts. I hit a manhole so hard it popped the back cover off the plow light and it landed on the hood.

2010 F350 with a in bed dump body. Gas model.......says I’m getting 7 mpg...lmao

My ''12's are both 6.2 gassers. Display says 28L/100 kms which equals about 8.5 mpg. I think my old 5.4 was worse. The 6.0L uses half the fuel either of the gassers do but the repairs are more frequent and more costly.. 

That's a Fisher sitting behind the grey truck. I just replaced it with the Arctic poly blade. The Fisher was heavy and the cutting edge is so far leaned back that it doesn''t scrape or backdrag worth a shit. Sold it yesterday for $1400. Bye Bye.

I plowed with a loader. I was trying to go between two curbs at a school I was plowing. I hit the curb and it stopped the loader dead. I was just crawling and it gave me a wicked whiplash. I felt like I had a nosebleed.

There are few guys using Rangers or import trucks for resi work but most guys use blower because there is no where to push the snow on in town lots. 
Rural residential driveways are all done with tractors around here. Farmers work cheap, $15-20 per.

 

I have this for the tight stuff. Might be my retirement plan.

That’s a Fisher behind the grey truck. Put it on 3 years ago, bought it used off a buddy. The cutting edge on those is leaned back to the point it won’t scrape or backdrag worth a crap. Bought the Arctic cheap and it’s much better. The newer Fisher’s are much better.

My 6.2 gassers are showing around 8.5 on the display. My old 6.0l uses half the fuel.

I work when some guys can’t show up for a local farm. We plow with 8 Fords, 4 are f 250’s and 4 are 350’s. We also have 3 huge deer tractors with plows and one Massey. We also use the tractors off hours with bucket loaders to remove snow with dumps in down town areas.

Good god on both accounts.  That would not feel good at all.  Crazy how the equipment comes to a sudden halt

It was a while ago but I seem to remember my BIL was knocked unconscious. I remember he split his head open, can't remember if he got stitches. Ya, them bucket machines stop all of a suddenly....lol

Not good equipment for rookies.
