I'm not complaining about the county, taxes, commissioners, etc. Though, for what we do pay (Mead), I probably should complain! But thats not here or there.
I do like the snow plow idea, preferably on a truck. It would certainly take less time. But I don't have a truck, or a plow. I have my tractor and a snow blower. I would be hard pressed to convince the finance department (wife) to spend money on a plow truck to plow the county road, especially since I dropped a few grand last year on the blower!
My concern is the liability. I do have a beacon on my tractor, so hopefully people would see me before plowing into me. I'd keep the snow off people's property and into the ditch. Hopefully I'd be able to do a better job than the county could with their grader.
I'm also concerned about the county coming down on me. I don't want to go to them to ask for permission. I'd rather beg forgiveness.
Also, I'm not offering to plow the road for every snow event. Just the big ones, so my wife can get down the road and back up with the kids in the car.
Anyway, thank you for the responses. Its always great to get others point's of view on such matters. Personally, I don't think I will do this, but who knows, I might be out doing my drive way, and simply decide in the moment to keep going to the highway.
