I posted the following (with a question to Deerlope) in the thread "Snow for you Two Guns".
<blockquote>I woke up to an average of 7" in the driveway (more or less depending
on the drifts) with 12 to 14" of the heavy stuff by the road where the
road plows throw the messy stuff. In your opinion, does the RTV have
enough grunt to push through 14" of the heavy stuff?? Any special
techniques you use to move a lot of snow? I'm considering either the
1100 or 900 with a Blizzard 680 LT plow.
</blockquote>We had around 14" total of snow this weekend, with most of it coming Saturday night. I live on a main highway, so there was around 15" of the heavy sandy salty stuff 15' back from the road at the end of the driveway Sunday morning, even though I had been plowed early on Saturday and I shovelled Saturday afternoon.
I can't see the RTV plowing through that much stuff in one pass (with the plow floating). Will it actually do this? Do you take in two (7" deep passes), or even shallower? Any other techniques for dealing with heavy stuff? I have plowed this driveway several seasons with a pickup, but never seen a snowfall this heavy and fast (all that was overnight). Any takers?
Thanks, as always - Doug
