What would plowing with a 45-50 horse 4x4 EROPS tractor with turfs or R-4 tires be like compared to say a 4x4 GMC or Ford pickup be like for a couple of residential driveways grouped together?
I realize a pickup would be the ticket for plowing commercially several driveways as I've owned a plowing business in the past. I've also plowed with my previous backhoe.
What I want to know specifically is how does a 45-50HP cab tractor plow snow compared to a pickup in a normal say 10" snowfall? I would think a pickup would be better because it's able to get up more speed and push the snow. I'm assuming a 7.5' or 8' power angle plow blade
