I have been plowing snow over 25 yrs and have gone thru a few trucks, my latest is a bought new 96 Chev heavy 1/2T 4x4 with a 5 spd stick. it has served me well, have only replaced the clutch once.

It plows an ave. of over 100 inches per yr and on a heavy yr 250 inches and that's cascade mtns concrete. It plows my driveway about 300 yards, parking lot at house, my office parking lot and sometimes the 1.2 mile private road I live on and this is with the same meyer snowplow for the last 25 yrs. Have replaced hydralic lines and springs on the plow, this yr I have to paint the plow but am kinda late on that on, next yr.

A ideal setup, IMHO is a snowplow and a snow blower that would clean up the edges cuz you get squeezed in pretty fast with just a plow which is what I do. I also have a neighbor who has a Kubota 4x4 with blower and he usually cleans up the driveway since he lives behind our house a 1/4 mile.
