I'm buying a 16 acre wooded property with a 1000' paved driveway with a few rolling hills and 2 small roundabouts.
I want something that is great for small-to-medium storms (1-5") because that's what is most common. But we also get one or two big storms (12-18") so I want to be prepared for them as well.
I'm leaning toward a ventrac with a plow (small storms) and blower (big storms) . Or I could replace the plow with a power broom. The attachments are so easy to swap I can use one...

So we barely scuffed a door with a blower, but the green on brown is mildly noticeable.
One door company says it has to be replaced as well as the third garage so it matches. Something like $7k.
Another is half that.
Checked with a body shop about some sort of repair, they say no go.
Any suggestions?

Hey everyone,
I’m looking for some advice on the best type of tarps for covering equipment and supplies during the off-season. I've heard that canvas tarps are a great option because they’re durable and breathable, but I’m not sure which ones to get. Has anyone had experience with canvas tarps, and can you recommend a good source to buy them from?
Thanks in advance ..read more

Hey folks! I currently run a pressure washing business and after 6 years, I am looking to add snow removal to the business. I am looking for suggestions on new and used equipment dealers in the Detroit MI. area. I need to get a Western Ultramount installed on my 19 Ram 1500 classic. I am planning on installing a HTS with hopes of upgrading with the growth of the snow removal side of the business. Every suggestion on equipment and dealers in the area is greatly appreciated! Until then I will...

Greetings ladies and gents.
I’m fairly new and getting my operation up and running after a good first season in 2023. I currently have a 2016 Cummins with 88,000 miles on it with a Boss set up. I absolutely love the truck, but I’m starting to think about possibly getting a new rig. My question is three parts: A) just keep the 2016 which gets the job done. I’ve already had the DEF sensor replacement which sucked and will not do again and will delete before that happens. Also, I am not much...

Well sounds like the lemon attorney I spoke to thinks I have a case to get some compensation back from Ford. Still don’t know how much, other that it’s more than a few hundred bucks and per them, it’s designed to get you into a new vehicle. (We’ll see)
New truck will likely be a lawn truck about 75% of the time, and a landscape maintenance/ landscape truck the other 25%
In the winter, It would have a plow and salter.
In any event, debating whether we want to go with another pickup, or get...

2016 Ram 3500, under warranty for any moving parts / electrical. The wiring harness needs to be replaced (part # 68265213AC). Issue is that the part has been discontinued by FCA / Stellantis. They have tried to repair the existing wiring harness but I keep having the same issues. Does anyone know if there is an aftermarket wiring harness I can request, or point me in the right direction for getting this figured out? Please advise ..read more
