See the thread I started:http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/atvs-utility-vehicles/329923-mule-4010-boss-v-plow.html
The pics show the second pass but I plowed 26" with my boss V plow effortlessly. I usually plow with the storm but since it was light snow I opted to wait.
The Deere will handle a plow very well.

I agree, that's sharp!

That V plow would be perfect for our road. I have the Mule with the same motor as the JD Gator so I would guess I would have very similar results. If I may, what kind of real world pricing should I expect for one

I paid $3200 for mine, I needed an additional harness for the mule and opted for the Smart hitch 2 and mast lights.
I found Equipment specialist( google them) was the cheapest. My local dealer was able to match there best price although he complained I was getting it for cost.

I do at least 9 driveways every time it snows. The RTV can more than handle that as long as you maintain it.

I have the new 1100 and with a 6 foot kubota v plow it takes me about 3 passes and I am done with my drive way that is about 300 ft gravel. I would say doing 10 to 20 drive ways would be a breeze and make some money to boot. I can say this if it were me I would look for the closed platform like the 1100 no doubt the 900 can do just as good but the benefits of the cab are worth the cost.
At my work we had a open platform mule for 7 yrs that we use only for pushing snow at the airport and it worked great!! But it was time to upgrade so we purchased a new kubota rtvx 1100 and everyone there
loves it. And after using the one at work all last year I made my decesion to purschase one for my home use and property.
I say look for a used 1100 out there if you don't want to buy new there are a ton of them out there. And once you use a cab platform your never look back.
10 to 20 driveways is nothing for these machines remember out of all the utv makes the kubota is the only true commercial vehical out there it's not fast it's not as pretty as some but it's tough as nails reliable as your wife telling you the garbage needs takin out and slicker then snot!! Lol!!! Good luck in your decision .
Oh one more thing I am not bashing any other brand or saying the other utvs wouldn't do the job just that the kubota is built on the platform of a commercial use. It's not a trail rider, fast driving , crazy all out fun unit. It's built for work and that's what it does.
