why waste money on a small snowblower-Just buy yourself a Snow Scooper or a Shovel.

Get caught up here running down the road with snow on your trailer it's an automatic fine.

Steve,

If you're thinking about Interstate batteries, try to locate an Interstate outlet store. Where I live, there's one a mile from my house. They will sell blemished batteries for under half price, but with a 3 month warranty only. I've bought them for a couple of my cars and they are as good as buying one and paying full price. The 2 I bought were only $22 apiece. They usually get their shipment of blemished batteries in on Monday morning and they can sell out fast.

I believe they have truck batteries also.

Same thing-Be a horrible thing on your Conscience if a big chunk of Ice slid off and went through somebodies Windshield.
A little fluff snow is no big deal.

Autozone and many other parts stores will test you batteries for free to see if they have any dead cells or other problems.

I remember reading about some states talking about enacting fines for those who have large pieces of ice blowing off of van roofs. I don't think it would be as much of a problem with a flat bed. But then, 2 feet is a lot of snow. Steve, just drive faster and it will blow off quicker. :P I was previously thinking about a couple of inches of snow. If you pulled steel, some of the plants will have you pull inside to load and the heat could melt the snow. But then, you would need to drive to the mill first. Huuuummm. Perhaps you should just get a big shovel. :wink:

Steve... have been following your post and wish you the best. As for the naysayers.........hey, I'm sure when Bill Gates decided to drop out of college, he got a lot of grief.............probably heard more than a few reasons why he wouldn't ever make it...........I mean who in their right mind would ever even imagine that personal computers would ever catch on....... I guess history has proved him to be a visionary.............. even though I personally loath anything Microsoft based.......Linux is such a more reliable OS or I should be more PC........GNU/Linux.

Anyways, nice ride........now all you need is one of the mirror balls hanging from the ceiling and you'll have the best lizard lounge on the lot...... ops: ops: ops: ops: did I type that........ hope your wife isn't reading these........hmmmm we'll call it a disco meditation environment enhancer..... yeah.. that's the story.

Good luck buddy. Be safe.
