P500 Plowing 35cms (13.8 inches) of the white stuff

[Windbane]

With latest dumping of snow the 500 has been a real trooper plowing my 1km (0.62 miles) long driveway. After 4 months of the 500 plowing (click link to see it in action) snow, I gotta say that I am impressed with the power and toughness of this little machine. Has no problem starting in subzero temps, turn the key and go. Really great on gas too. Although I think I may invest in a torque locker for the front to give it some better grip in the really deep snow.

How wide is your plow, and does it push the front of the P500 to the side when the plow is angled?

 

[Windbane]

I normally have the plow at 60" but in the video I have it at 72" as I was widening the driveway before the storm hit. And the only times I had the machine pushed to the side is when I'm trying to scrape the edges of the snowbanks down to widen the driveway or hitting a snowbank with the plow angled. Otherwise regular plowing I haven't had the plow push it around or at least never noticed...

The locker is definately worth it IMO, no snow here but big improvement in crawling over muddy rocky hills down south. Climbs like a mountain goat.

I'll be ordering a locker if ever they make them again . . .
