nice. No worse than a 68 bronco converted to a skidder doodle bug with a PTO to hook up attachments.
heavy snow must be simple. No fighting with the 3 foot tall person from japan who designed it.
Now that my locale is the "blizzard loop pattern"




such a franken machine is mind soothing.


I did spot this a few years ago from the "subaru_18" club:



As I had an expendible old sube once upon a time...this photo is not far fetched either.

The snow's almost all melted here - just now I craned my neck to the window and had to look all around to find a pile of it shivering in the shadow on the north side of a house.

But I just had to post this one before winter is completely gone. It's pretty good.

Here's mine. Designed and built it in 2005 for my old 6000 wagon. Power up and down from inside the car. Still works good.

Same-O, same-O:

...after your SNOW storms, you plow away your snow drifts.

...after our SAND storms, we plow away our sand piles.

...the BIG difference, however, is your SNOW eventually melts, our SAND doesn't.
