Hows this for an off Euro snow plow

[drizler]

Sort of an odd duck isn't it? Not for road use but more for cleaning up the public squares and in front of municipal buildings I guess. I saw this little guy in former street which is now a pedestrian only zone in downtown Garmisch Germany. I can't tell what it is and it's surely painted orange to match all the public road work vehicles.

Just about every medium sized town has one of them up here. They are used for sidewalks and are equipped with a snowblower instead. Holder and Trackless are a few of the manufacture's names that I know.

Definitely a Holder, just in city colors. Original color is green. Good little tractors; very popular on small produce farms.

The other weapon of choice for almost all standard duty work around here in Bavaria is the Unimog. Some of these little beasts are old as the hills yet still chugging around in their orange paint and reflective stripes. Those guys are always up on the logging trails working away as well as the city street repairs and usual maintenance tasks. Most of the work I see done over here is mostly small 40 hp type tractors and those mini excavators, they love them. Nearly every job site has one of those usually digging away and I mean big site like erecting a large building ect. It's impressive how much they get done with small equipment over here but I will say they build roads slower than snails and always have. Lots of big equipment like ours but it seriously takes them a year to do a section of road we would do in 3 weeks, literally.
This in another interesting critter on the central downtown square of Munich. It looks like it's unloading something that looks like blast mats off a semi. Don't really know what it is for but heavy rolls of wire laced rubber in strips a couple feet wide . I didn't see anything around that place in need of dynamite though. That white ball with the 20 in it means it's only allowed to go 20 KPH on the roads.

This is the city crew in Garmisch Bavaria this afternoon cleaning up the commons where 2 big streets meet in a bit of a circle. These guys hit it in teams. No loadering into a truck they just push it into windrows and the use the blower to fill the truck. There is a bicycle right in the center of that huge snow pile chained to a pole. They got it all cleared out and never trashed it

I recently saw this one on our local CL: very tempting, but for the health of my marriage, I just kept browsing:
Holder Tractor with Snow 4' HD Blower plus HD Plow Diesel
Sure looks to be a great snow mover.
