Lawn care business tips
I have the answer for you......... wait for it......... wait for it........ move to AZ, USA never snows in Phoenix metro area....... grass all year round........... the good life...... except the 3 months of H E double hockey sticks that is the AZ summer.

Sorry to waist your time with that comment in a wierd mood.....

If a driveway is paved it is safe and in short it is faster and does a better job but I have never seen one on a truck, we run 6' blowers on two tractors and plows on the rest, it really gets the snow out of the way but stay off gravel with these units, even my 2520 can throw snow 60 feet or better no problem, I can't imagine how far a rock or some other debris would go and the potential damage.
