Default Scrambler vs 16" of snow

Had a little fun plowing today...lol

This was after I got done plowing the first time this morning when we had about 10"

The rest are tonight. Had over a foot in the driveway again because of the drifting, and a 3 foot deep snowbank at the end of the driveway.

It's about done snowing now, but I'm sure it will be drifted in again by morning so I will have to plow again. I have another driveway to plow in the morning too, and that one hasn't been touched at all yet so we will see how that goes. I'll be sure to get some pics of that one too.

It looks like the scrammy does a good job considering how deep it is. I should get a chance to plow later today. It's the first snow storm of the season. We're supposed to get 6-9" but so far there's just wet pavement.

It's an old Cycle Country plow that came with our 87 Trail Boss when we bought it a couple years ago. I did a little fabrication to make the mount fit on the Scrambler.

Looks like fun, i like the bags of sand on the back for extra weight.

Looks like a fun way to clear the white stuff.

My cousin plows with his 500 scrambler and it does a good job, I would of thought having no low range would of made it harder for him.

Yeah, the Scrambler works great for plowing!

Not having low isn't a problem at all. Not sure why everyone thinks you need low gear to plow, I think high gear works better anyway. Low gear just makes the tires spin easier, and then you aren't going anywhere. Even with the plow on the old 250, I always plowed in high gear and it would lose traction long before it ran out of power to push the snow.

You should go and plow out the Gophers field so the Vikings can play in Minnesota. Maybe they can win outside....(Doubt it though)

I'm in Brainerd two hours away and we didnt get any snow out of that storm
