   / snowplowing atv vs rtv #2  
I have a friend plowing a 2000' driveway with an RTV, (JD gator). He'd never get the job done with an ATV. The RTV is much heavier, and the dump box is loaded with sand. He used to plow with an old pickup truck, he misses the cab but doesn't miss the maint. He's running chains and his driveway is fairly steep, (full pass coming down and a smaller bite going up).

I've seen folks try to use ATVs for plowing, if you get more than a few inches of snow you're hosed, especially if it's wet..
