I suppose, but it's a home made, cheaper then unimog... unimog. LOL

PS It would also have local parts and tecs wich would be a big plus over a Mog.

I think you can forget the tight turning radius

Whether or not this vehicle will be suitable depends on the driveways configuration. If all 25 are straight with plenty of room on one side or at the bottom end for snow disposal then it should do, otherwise you may have a problem.

This with a blower on the other end

I'll be setting the wheelbase... and both axles will steer...

Unless you need to travel 50 miles through off-road terrain to get to a few driveways, I think a sub or compact tractor would suffice. There is a unimog with blower and plow for sale on New Brunswick Kijiji however that looks exactly like your rendition.

This one that was posted earlyer?;

UNIMOG 406-MB4/94 With Snowblower and Plow

Don't get me wrong; Unimogs are cool... but for that price I could build something just like I want it with a base vehicle 30 years newer, with parts and technitians local in case I get in a jam... and know every bolt on it. Not to mention; it's a project and I'm a project addict. LOL

I was thinking that if I kept a more conventional steering setup with hydo-assist, and kept the tires covered I could keep this thing registered and street legal. That would be much more useful then the added steering radius.
