After a lot of research, we purchased the PT-180 mostly for snow removel on our lots and sidewalks. We bought it with a blade and bucket but find we use the bucket much more than the blade although we are in the process of converting the blade to a tripping, powerangle snow plow.

Anyway, wow, what a machine. I'm completely amazed by how much work can be done with one of these and plan in the future to replace our MTD tractor with another PT-180. The MTD has a pick-up truck salt spreader on the back and a blade on the front and works fine but is much slower than the Powertrac.

My only wish is that I could figure out how to put an enclosed cab on it, it does get cold snow plowing with it.
