They might think you have the same idea as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvin_Heemeyer

Exactly! I could be plowing with my 14 MPG Xterra, but as a crazy Engineer, that would just be wrong.

PTO would be awesome. I am trying to find a hydraulic pump for cheap. I figure I can mount it where the AC compressor was. I would like to upgrade the plow from electric lift only to 4-way hydraulic actuation.

Woo Hoo, it's snowing like crazy here. We're supposed to get 3-5 inches overnight. So, it looks like tomorrow morning Crashy will get her first chance to plow snow.

Last night I installed 1" wheel spacers on the front, to eliminate the little bit of scraping when I cut the wheel all the way. I also finished rebuilding the plow lift motor and re-wiring the plow last night, so she's ready to go.

I am totally bummed! We got about 3" starting around 3 PM and then it warmed up to 34. I just got home and my driveway doesn't have a bit of snow on it.

There wasn't a single flake of snow left on the driveway this morning, so Crashy didn't get to go out and play. They're predicting more snow next Saturday, so we'll have to keep out fingers crossed.
