Thinking of a used quad for snow removal..Ideas

timido · 06-15-2014, 04:14 PM

I have been plowing my drive with Little John Deere lawn tractor with chains and wheel weights for about 10 years. I have a zero turn that I cut grass with so I would probably sell the lawn tractor I want to get something that works a little better. I was thinking of a used 4x4 quad with a blade on it. My drive is gravel 250 ish feet with the top part being about 30ft wide. Any suggestions on size and brand? I thought about a 2 stage snow blower but I don't want to toss gravel.

I use a 700 Polaris Sportsman with a 54" manual blade . It works wonders for the snow. my drive is about 300' of gravel also. takes about 10 minutes. would not do it any other way
