like i have said in oklahoma 1 to 2" is normal and it usely melts with in hours. mainly we get ice.the parking areas are about 300' by 200'. i was thinking i should be able to clear this in a hour and a half?. i have always wanted a atv and my thought was be able to make some money in the winter by providing this service but yet still be able to play, i will be using two atvs at a time with a 60" plow up front, worst case i could see 4to 6" of snow fall.

 

what plow set ups are most people using

 

last year i used my brothers 04 400 to plow a whole motel parking lot with a 50" blade. it plowed with ease. took maybe 3-5 hours depending on depth of snow. you will have no problem. i added chains which helped imensley and i was able to push the snow much further into the grass. if i were you id go with a 72" plow if you could get one, it would help alot with the time and the 650 has enough power for sure to handle a 72" blade pushing 6" of snow. the 400 pushed over a foot at times. get a 60" minimum, 50 takes too long. but if its all you can afford so be it.
