Living in snow country you find your half way through the season and running out of places to puch snow.
snow blowing is a likely option.

Buddy of mine has about a 1/2 mile long driveway and after about the middle of the year he just would run out of places to plow the snow. He actually had a unit just like that and it worked great. Only problem was you about have to have it on a dedicated plow vehicle as its just to heavy for going down the road and was a pain to take on and off. He now has a tractor with a pto blower.

I remember years ago, when I lived in Kenosha county, by Lake Michigan. We had record snow fall and the County would put huge blowers on huge Oshkosh dump trucks to move snow. It was like driving down a hall way.

I could pee farther than my pto blower would throw snow. I went back to the plow. Always expected more snow so i pushed it back far enough that it was out of the way for the next plow job. It might have helped that i had a 325 foot wide front yard to push it into.

my neighbor does both my driveways with his pto blower on his tractor and that thing will flat throw snow into the next county!

i was on youtube and seen a sweet chevy big block on a snow blower they talk about sending the snow back to where it came from.. but it is a walk behind on tracks.
