Who knew that you could plow snow with a skid steer vs. a truck? Adam is the owner and operator of a small landscape and snow removal company. His company is fictional, but the surprises, hassles and achievements are often real stories.

“Just curious what the best way to plow heavy wet snow? Seems like this stuff don’t want to push easy, for any distance. I have to keep stopping backing up and ramming through 1/2 the pile in front of the blade, then going back over what was left.” – 2dogs2/Member on Plowsite

The first question any reputable, educated, disciplined landscape contractor or property manager would ask one of our sales reps is, “Why should I buy a walk-behind mower, much less a sulky like the Wheel Kaddy?” Fair enough.

These short stories will be an interesting look into a fictional snow removal company. Many of the experiences, problems, solutions, and headaches were real. Let’s cut the fat, snow removal can be a disaster. Couple no sleep, breakdowns, tempers, and hasty decisions with customers that expect real performance and you’ve got a real volatile business. One not for the faint of heart.
