    some of those small lots and drive ways you should push or pull the snow out to the road and plow it down the street just like the city trucks do. You have to remember when a car tries to pull or back out of a drive way and you have the snow pilled up at the end they cant see cars coming

    Plow the snow with the traffic,,, at the end of a drive if the snow goes to the right looking at the driveway? The bank gets too high to see around if it gets pushed to the left facing the driveway it’s out of the way. I do it at home like that.

    Been watching this and notice you go over and over the same spots because of too much of a bite. Start from one side and continue pushing all the snow in one direction, triple your clean up time

    If you took a smaller pass you’d have less windrows to clean. Like use half your blade windrowing to the side.

    question, when you price out plowing a road, windrowing it, how much less do you charge as a percentage vs a parking lot? or do you charge them as the same rate? i plow per sq/ft and i've only done parking lots and not sure if it's standard to charge less for a long driveway/road per sq/ft.

      When you swing snow to the side, start with the inside and work out. It will save you quite a few swipes.

    @lisforlifer 11 місяців тому

    I would hate for it to snow again that heavily without pushing your snowbanks back far enough to push the new snowfall. Running out of room is not a good thing, better safe than sorry I would push those Banks back another 15 ft at least.

      @bladezllc  Рік тому

      For plowing, I like the dodge better. For pulling, I prefer the Chevy. The Chev rides a lot nicer as well... The ram has way more power, though it's crazy! It's probably the stability of the longer wheel base on the Chevy.
