Commercial Snow removal via tractor?

What CAN you do in Massachusetts ????

They pays fees and taxes...

You really have to wonder though (I have watched all of these several times) how many takes where left on the cutting room floor where the drivers were a little bit over zealous and ran into various things.

There is no doubt that their setup is awesome, but using a 100+ hp machine at that speed in a neighborhood would ultimately lead to disaster.

None the less ... very cool indeed

One thing too with the yellow tractor, it has the ability to "drive backwards". The steering wheel and everything is (or can be) facing backwards

We cant push snow across the road in massachusetts. Its a $100. fine!

I think that is true here in New Hampshrie too, but I am not sure what the fine would be. Normally the road agent will stop by and ask the person to clean up the mess.

Depends where you live in Massachusetts. I'm out in the sticks where nobody gets heartburn over snow piles.

Makes sense to me. Odds are too many people didn't push the snow far enough across the road to get it out of the way of the poor person plowing the street. Instead they left a pile of potentially rock hard snow sitting either on the road or just off the road the driver gets to hit with his plow. Too bad there have to be such laws to penalize the actions of a few inconsiderate people. Some laws do make sense when you take the time to think about them.

You cant do much here unless you have the special license or permit. It makes it a very expensive place to work. From the consumers point of view, it provides lots of protection. We have the red sox #1, the patriots #1, the celtics #1 and cape cod. There are worse places to live.

Can you point me to a website, or some other reference to this. I believe you (and never push snow accross the road), I would like to have a reference to show some others....

Thanks!

I've never heard of it being enforced.

Or how about those people who blow a whole driveway worth of snow into the street after it's plowed. Never heard of them getting fined either!
