fine for small storms but when we get a big one you and your customers are gonna be bummed out. if its just for personal use it will be fine as long as you keep up with the berm at the end of your driveway

Small enough to turn around in driveways and Old Town too.

try plowing 8 inches of wet snow with that thing, plowing is blood money and I hate it. Been plowing since 94 if I could give it up I would.

You can't have a heavy enough pick up to move snow IMHO. Particularly if you are using it to make money. Time is of the essence and spending 2 hours on a 40 dollar driveway is never a good deal. A Dakota may handle your personal space without issue but the transmission and front end will need to be re built every year. The 46RE tranny is notorious for failures.
