Last week Owen Sound got quite a bit of snow and it being around zero degrees the stuff was really wet/heavy and my trusty Honda snow blower was clogging up and I was getting a little frustrated because I have a lot of area to clear including some of the road because the plow can't get down to where I'm at. Only the city's front end loader can get down, but it doesn't always show up.
So my son was after me to go over to the cottage and get an ATV I use for summer stuff and put a plow on it. I didn't have much faith in a plow and didn't want to spend the money to find out. On top of that I needed an electric winch to raise/lower the plow.
Well I blew the wad on one and installed it. It's a fairly elaborate setup and requires installation of a bottom plate. I installed the plow and my son installed the winch, handle bar control and did the wiring so that was good because I hate wiring.
So far so excellent. I cannot believe nothing has bent because I have been smashing into and pushing some major packed piles of snow down this ravine opening.

3. pic of the pile of snow I moved. This is a pile that the city's loader deposits blocking some of my driveway and it's compacted and heavy and the ATV's plow just moves it around with easy. I really thought I was wasting my cash this time around. Ya never know.
