Any brothers and or sisters in the fringed North plow snow in the off-season?

It's not off-season if you plow snow for pay :)

Lots of people around here with a 4x4 and myers plow kit - it can make some decent extra money if you build up the clientele for it - I wouldn't myself - I hate snow.. rather never see a snowflake (or the cold temperatures) again.. :)

I'm with you there, having lived in Tampa for 5 years and Mississippi and Tennessee for years before that I got very comfortable with not having snow, or much of it anyway.

You hit the nail on the head (and for those Buick fans that would be, er, nail-head HA!). Trying to plan ahead for off season work once I get up and running with the shop. I know that there will be some snow thrower/generator work at times, at least I expect that there would, and you and I have discussed a few other options but with the amount of snow that we got last year I was really thinking about picking up a 3/4 ton with a decent plow. We've got 150 foot or so of driveway and a pretty large parking area for a home so my 6x6 ATV was challenged last winter, stupid tiny plow blade.

I think I figured it out. Was having a hard time with plowing snow in the off season....there IS NO SNOW in the off season. You must mean when we aren't fixing stuff from the grass season....

Yeah, stupid busy day at work yesterday, guess that was a bit confusing eh? Don't ever let it be said that I don't make people think, or at least scratch their heads in a confused manor. :bricks:
