Best light trail ATV that can plow 60" county blade
maybe the snow is lighter here!
It's definately is easier if you plow more than once if you are getting over a foot, but I have pushed at least a foot of heavy snow (not slush) off of my driveway more than once. 2 runs down a 10ft wide driveway, one to each side. It just doesn't make sense to do a parking lot with even 6 inches, but it makes cleaning the driveway off fun and its a great excuse to ride.

Generally I try to push when the snow is between 6" to 12" but several times a year I will push when it the snow level is 18" +/-. I use both a Prairie 360 and a Traxter, both with a 60" Warn blade. The Traxter works better in the deeper, heavier snow due to its weight but the Prairie is faster due to the belt drive. The biggest problem in the deep snow is just getting the first hole cut through. After you get stuck a time or two you will learn how.
While I have never used a Moose plow I have looked at several. The strong point of them is they are heavy built but that is the weak point also. Once the blade is set on the ground, that extra weight is working against the ATV. That is why I came up with a system of holding down pressure on the blade without adding a bunch of extra weight to the blade. I also coat the blade with a pickup bed liner so the snow doesn't stick to the blade and will curl better.
It is amazing how much snow can be pushed with an ATV if it is setup right.
