The Best Way To Plow Snow!

The Champion is more or less in a class by itself, requires long roads to be efficient. The 2 wheel drive tractors just don't hold a candle to skid steers or articulated tractors, and it's mainly due to 4x4 drive and power shift forward to reverse.

I watched a 50 hp Bobcat take on a 150 hp Hough loader in a parking lot. The city engineer divided the arena parking lot in half, told the guy selling the Bobcat, "If you have your half done before the Hough has the other half, we'll buy two Bobcats, and I'll personally treat you to a steak at a local bar". He sold two Bobcats, during the steak dinner.

I hardly ever use it.

Eight years ago, I bought a '78 Chevy 4X4 pickup off of a neighbor for $400 and put a plow on it. I don't even bother to put plates or insurance on it, just use it off-road on the farm. It will do 98% of what the H does, and do it ten times faster. Plus, it has a heater that will drive you out of the cab in zero weather. It's never once failed to start when I needed it. (The H has).

I had a plow on other 4X4's before, but always my main pickup. It was a pain in the butt hanging the blade and dropping it off every snow storm. With this old gal, I just hang the blade in the fall and drop it off in the spring. I can't begin to say how many times I've gotten my $400 back over the years.

My other pickups come and go, but this one has found a permanent home. As indestructable as those ole Chevys are, it will probably outlive me.

Handi-man jack is way faster anyways. :>)
