Crashy Plows - 2nd Snow Storm of 2009

Once again Crashy did a bang-up job of plowing! We ended up with 8" with drifts well over 12" deep. Below is the video, this time with a soundtrack:

Totally awesome...love the Benny Hill theme! Best part is when the Yaris disappears to only return with one long pass.

Awesome. You may have mentioned this before, and I'm too lazy to re-read the thread, but does the heat still work?

It does. Even though I have no windows or doors, having heat blowing on me is awesome.

CT, Crashy is amazing! I'm sure that plow came in real handy over the past couple days. It's cool to see what the mind can come up with when given the opportunity.

Crashy FTW

So, Crashy just plowed her 4th storm. I am still absolutely amazed as to how well she does. This morning there was a layer of ice under the snow, that was so slippery that I literally couldn't stand up. With her tires and the traction from the weight of the plow, she cleared the driveway without slipping or spinning at all. I went to run a quick errand (with my Xterra) after I plowed, and I had to put it in 4 wheel drive to get out of the driveway (and it has Nitto Terragrappler tires).
