They don't even do wet grass. Leave the truck inside. A scoop shovel would be faster. Now, I bet you can find a great snowblower that only needs a minor repair for $50. Karl |

Plow mounted on the forks (did this at one shop) Building your own is easy just find an old P/U plow and make a set of rails that you can clamp/chain to the forks. Other option - Hydraulic powered blower. Using either an extra pump OR since weight isn't a big deal make one up using a small engine and a high flow pump. -- Steve W. |

You need a chicago snow plow complete with ice scraper on the back side. http://www.collectconnection.com/images/pd55099.jpg Best Regards Tom. -- http://fija.org/ |

Your unit will be worthless in even one inch of snow. If you need a reason the weight distribution is all wrong. Huge counter weight over the non driving wheel makes it far worse than those old rear wheel drive pickups. Karl |

No, that is a rough terrain forklift. An outdoor forklift with pneumatic tires can operate on gravel, which is what I have. i |
