Tossing around the idea of picking up a small plow and an older pick up to do a few driveways locally. Any input? Have some road and parking lot plowing experience years ago, but was someone else's equipment. Always dependent on how many storms and breakdown/maintenance costs. Last winter was slow for work, but am I crazy to even consider this? Or is it just blood money I'm looking at?Pretty sure I could get a dozen driveways minimum. Would want to keep initial investment under 5k. Would consider unloading it in spring. Already have an Ariens snowblower my driveway is small.
