    Fella once offered to get me a 6x6 Oshkosh like that - for $1000.

    When he didn't deliver, he said that it was because he couldn't get it out of the airport, due to increased security after 9-11. :susp:

    Sno Go is what we had at work. Damn good blower but when it broke down $$$$$$$

    For 38 years I worked on a MP3D, started with a 4 cyl. gas mounted on a loader,
    Worthless, you can't imagine the snow that gets sucked into the engine compartment....
    Then we got a 6cyl. CAT......
    Night and day difference, The air filter will get so plugged up with snow, when it was -20, that the black smoke would roll, ice will build up on the radiator fan shroud. The steel fan blade, would launch a chunk of ice through the radiator.....
    Latter they went with a plastic fan blade......
    When we would get ice buildup on the shroud, that thing would make noise.

    This one doesn't have a chute, hydraulic controlled, the chute will go up and down, and left and right, while loading dump trucks.....

    In a big windrow it would load a twin screw dump truck in about 10 seconds .....
