I almost bought a heaver fixer cabin up in Lake Arrowhead with a long steep driveway leading up to the parking area and the house. I can park over 10 cars on that area and the first thing I thought of was an ATV with a snowplow. I went looking for a used 150CC Honda or something but it was not meant to be. On the day before we were suppose to close escrow, Fanny Mae pulled the deal. the offer was accepted, all cash, no contingency but no explanation need for them to pull it. Oh well.

the crate is for nothing more than carrying stuff. straps, d-ring shackles, gloves, my chain saw fuel/bar oil, a 5 gallon jug of fresh water from the garage up to the house for the dispenser.... the front is plenty weighted with the plow load and the shocks on full preload. the rear even with worn tires hooks up pretty good with only my fat ass on board. 5th winter, and I still learn a little something every time i plow the property. technique, snow management with storage location and things like don't push it to where it will melt for a week then having the runoff freeze across the driveway when it gets cold at night. it does about 10" max. i've had 18" fall over night then I have to make multiple passes. sucks cause the second pass has the wheel tracks which are harder to move consolidated.
my neighbor uses a side by side with a plow and I run circles around him with the nimbleness of the 660 quad.
