I know the answer :Hire a yard service and a plow service.
But
Why don't they build a tractor for us older folks who've moved into one of those manicured alotments? The ones with more yard than we want to mow with a walk behind but way less than an acre. We're the ones who want a great cut but want to spend less than 10 grand. The ones who don't want to look like a farmer who made a wrong turn who instead of mowing the back forty, looks like he is trying to mow a residential lawn with a harvester.The ones who want to plow 12 inch snowfalls off a couple hundred feet of paved driveway, don't want to ever get stuck, but don't want to look like a city plow truck on the take doing the councilman's drive.
You know, the ones who don't need a FEL, no garden so no need to to break the ground. No cattle, no horses, not even the gentleman farmer kind, so no need to drive fence posts or move horse poo around.
Something one can store in the half of a two and a half car garrage. Built like a Mac truck and powerful like a tank, but small and dependable and under 10 grand.
Steiner used to fill this niche but now they and Ventrac make CUTS look small and they cost more more than 15k. Power Tracs are jacks of all trades, but they do none well. besides the FEL we don't need they mow and plow not so swell.
So instead of the pleasure of doing it ourselves, I guess we're stuck hiring it out and sitting in tractor wanna be ****.
