ATV and truck snow plow, why not?
If you have a good-sized drive way and you live somewhere that does get snow, it might be a good idea to get a removable snow plow for your ATV or truck and forget about a shovel and tons of snow.

ATV and truck snow plow, why not?
2013 ATV and UTV Snow Plow Buyer's Guide | ATV Illustrated
Size Matters
With snow surely on the way, it’s time to get your snow removal plan in high gear. Plows should be selected based on your ATV or UTV. Most UTVs are approximately 60 inches wide and will require a blade in the 60 to 72 inch range. ATVs are no wider than 50 inches and for machines under 450cc, we generally recommend a 50 inch blade, while larger displacement machines can usually push a 60 inch blade with no problem. The second factor to consider is blade height and most blades range from 16 to 24 inches high. Short blades push easier thanks to less surface area, but larger machines can handle the extra load and higher capacity of taller blades.
Tire size and tread also play a factor in plowing, but as long as your tires are in good shape and you have enough traction, most stock tires will get the job done. A more aggressive tread pattern won’t hurt you, but never go overboard on tire size or with a super aggressive tread which can pop CV joints. For the ultimate plowing machine, tracks really complete the package, but plow manufacturers will be happy to recommend a plow that will work great on your machine

Of course in some states a snow plow is useless, however in the places where it actually snows a lot - snow plow is quite a useful thing to have. Work out this way is great, but often you just have to care about doing it very fast and save time.

Maybe rewind about 10 years and that might have been the case lol. I can't imagine trying to do a lot of shoveling by hand now though. I don't have much of a driveway myself so when it does infrequently snow here the 30 ft or so I need to clear off can easily be done by hand. Honestly a tractor is a better choice than either of them for clearing snow. That's what most people use around here.
