never even got a thank you so screw em,
Oh boy...:rolleyes: Didn’t mean to open that up. Anyway I can see that the little P5 does just fine keeping the driveway clean. Looks like you don’t have upper doors, are you cold in there?

Been to that rodeo a few times. People don't realize how much accumulates up there and how heavy it gets with a little melt happening. I've seen garage roofs that have collapsed under the weight of snow load.
I have a roof rake for the garage. Usually the stove takes care of the garage. Haha

Nah, the one neighbor watched me plow with the quad for years and went and got him one. Just happened to get it the same year I got the P5 so probably looked like I was trying to one up him. Plowed my other neighbor's drive for him years ago for free and without being asked. It was a bad snow and figured I'd help him out, never even got a thank you so screw em, they can pay someone now.
People are funny. A neighbor that’s a lawyer, asked me if The Free and Volenteer Snow Removal service was going to happen again this year. Haha. I might do it today. Haha. But people expect it. They don’t even come to the window to wave. Aaa nope. People.

Not at all, I don't wear gloves most of the time, especially on the winch control hand. It was actually pretty warm for those videos, hovering around 30 and not much wind. I also had done all the hand work before hand, porches, stairs, sidewalks...that usually works up a good sweat before the cool down of plowing. ;)

Why is it so hard to say Thank You? I don’t get it, we have the same situation but I keep doing it and he’s 20 years younger than me. I can use the extra credit when I hopefully get to the Pearly Gates

You have to wonder if you're helping him or just enabling him? I'm spiteful though and if I feel I've been wronged he'll be wrote off and never helped again. Live right and things happen for you, live wrong and things happen to you. Karma!

A numbers of years ago I brought my neighbor a Ham for plowing me out.....I never even got a thank you from him as he took it from me.....and that was after paying him $400 for the year to plow me out.

Trig, I run the same Plow setup and I’d buy another in a heartbeat. I have used mine enough that my cutting edge is noticeably worn. The only problem I’ve had is the Plow shoes fall out. They spin and break off the retaining pin. Had that happen a few times. I even had to buy a spare set since I lost both at different time. Luckily I found them when the snow melted. Kfi stuff is built right, designed right and high quality! I love how the push tube is extra long so u can pile snow up very deep. If I had doors and heat on my machine I could Plow all night with it. The 500 is such a hard working machine.

I bought a little plug in your cigarette lighter. Uses 10 amp on full. I bought it at a boat supply stor. It’s dog defrosting boat windows. Like a little hair dryer. I’ll post a picture in a few. I don’t have doors, but probably wouldn’t be good with a little heat.

Thanks for sharing the vids and pics. This is the first time I have seen a P5 snow plowing. Neat and the P5 handled it well. If we had that kind of snow in Georgia, a lot of people would die. Even a hint of a possible snow flake falling here and things start shutting down.

Except, we would take your weather right now. Probably a little tooo hot in the summer. Haha
