Like PHS79 said it can get old quick if you are using a truck and it can also get really old when it wont quit snowing. You should try going in at 4am move snow until 7am work until 5pm go home eat, sleep, for a couple hours get up go back to work and move snow until about 11pm go home sleep and repeat.

WOAH! Not for me! Just some light duty plowing of driveways. I'll wait until the storm is over unless it's supposed to be really bad. I've always felt bad for those guys doing that all night long.

Yeah I know I was using a Case loader with a 12ft blade when I was doing that.

Plowing is pretty much the worst thing ever, It was fun for about a week, after going sleepless for 2 days, and then being hit by a woman in an 80k$ mercedes who didnt know how to drive and crunching in the entire side of an f-250 all in one day, it started to not become fun anymore

I can see how that would make it not fun. Fun isn't the reason I want to put the plow on though. I'm a lazy person, so the less physical work in the cold that I have to do, the better!

I'll chime in with those that have suggested a snow blower for the amount of plowing you're suggesting. Trust me, I've plowed (F-350's with Fisher plows) and used a snow blower (Ariens 10 HP) for over 30 years and I'll take the snow blower over a cheap plow any day of the week. With those inexpensive plows, you're out of the truck more often than you're in it. And those piles at the end of your driveway by the street? One good hit and your plow will be mangled metal. Yea, plowing's fun - to watch.
