I am located in Northeast, Ohio and I like everyone else have been enduring this winter. My problem is this, I own a small 40 unit apartment complex which requires me to shovel or blowoff sidewalks. I currently have the parking lot plowed. There is no place to store equipment at the location aside from a snow blower but it is becoming increasingly difficult both physically and financially to handle this seasonal problem.
I need to know if there is a piece of equipment that can clear sidewalks, walkways to units, and possibly with an attachment clear the parking lot which is 60' wide and 500' long half of which is slightly sloped which is causing damage to the snow plows, their trucks, and also my asphalt. My widest sidewalk is about 40" and vehicles can limit that at times. The problem is that there is an extensive amount of sidewalk running the length of each building and then to each first floor apartment as well as to stair cases. To keep costs down, I'd like to be able to do this myself. Right now it takes me 2 hours to clear just the walks the guys plowing the lot take 30 minutes or so due to lot never being empty, slope, and where snow needs to be moved etc...
By the time next season rolls around I may have convinced myself that I can still do it so thought I'd start looking now.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
