LOL, "warranty voided if used with tractor." /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Do people actually buy these things?
It looks pretty tacky /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Ha ha...

Made of plastic and recyclable...$279 each...use a time or two...then put out at the curb of the recycle guy?

Funny they would state it to be recyclable on their web site...testimonial to its durability I suppose... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I just can't see it plowing snow of any depth. I use to have one of them caravan's and they did pretty good in the snow, but to plow also?? Yes you can keep your wheels on dry pavement but I would think once the snow built up you would no longer have any power to push it.

I wouldn't buy one, I would rather stay home and plow with my tractor.

I look at this as testiment to man's ability to further refine and market crap.
While I have no doubt it could be pushed thru snow, who do you hire to fetch it back to the garage? Are you suppose to leave it at the end of your driveway, and hope nobody is stupid enough to steal it, or hope somebody does so you don't have to drag it back to the garage.
This looks like something a person born & raised in the city would buy when he first moved to the country, as long as it was summer.
Back 50 years, there were similar "plows" that at least bolted to the front of the car, and you pulled on a rope to lift them so you could back up for a second pass.

Maybe they only sell them to people with /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif circle driveways. Put it on at the garage, make the circle, take it off at the garage.. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Should be interesting to see how it works with all the 5MPH rated bumpers. Body shops may just think it's an idea tool.

And, when you hit a frozen snowbank, or curb, the unit will instantly deploy the air bag system to protect you from kissing the windshield.
Anybody who buys this thing needs protection from reality.

Might be kind of cool tooling around town in my Crown Vic with a V plow on the front!
