Buggyman thanks for the reply. Have a few questions.

What size is your plow? Are you happy with the size?

Can you continuously plow to the side heavy wet snow without having to keep pushing it into the bank and moving forward again?

72" and I am very happy with it. my drive is only about 80' long but have never had a problem pushing it to the side. last year we had about 2' of wet snow and I could have used a little weight in the bed for better traction.

Since the Pioneer 700 does not have a Low / High range and only 3 gears is it's lowest gear low enough to plow heavy, wet snow?

Welcome from The Putrid Swamp Run Michigan! Kalifornians know what that like right? 😂

Assuming you have a P7 or just looking?

Looking at a P7 or a Mule. Have a Grizzly ATV with a plow now. Want more weight and cover. Probably leaning towards the P7.
I'd defintely go for the P7 over a mule. Idk which model mule you're looking at but we have one at work and it sucks

Compared to the Pioneer 700 it rides rough, not as much ground clearance, less power, top speed around 20mph, no bed dump assist. It's strictly a utility machine. The power steering does work good. Under hood storage is nice too. The one at work has had issues with the fuel injection since it was new.
