So explain how plowing unsalted snow is bad and causes rust? How is that worse than driving through SALTED snow and having it all over the truck, including inside the truck as you walk through it at a parking lot and track it in?
I'd much rather plow clean unsalted snow than drive on roads in the winter.
I've plowed snow with my JD lawn tractor for several years and yet my blade has no rust, and my tractor frame and fenders have no rust.
You are contradicting yourself when you suggest that rust is bad but the snow you are plowing has no salt.
It's no worse than driving through water. It's clean snow.
You are saying that rust is bad - yes, I agree - so then by that logic you should be fine to plow with it as long as you keep it off the streets and parking lots with salt.
Moving clean snow with a plow is no worse than driving through rain water in the summer.
I'm strongly considering a plow for my own JT...... driveway about 130 feet or so, then I have my shop approach to plow. Tired of using my lawn tractor and freezing my tail off.
