I've got a two-man, commercial snow removal operation that consists of several small parking lots and sidewalks in a business district. I've got the parking lot part of the operation down pat. I use a ToolCat with a Wester Prodigy plow and couldn't be happier. Now I'm interested in upgrading the sidewalk equipment. Seemingly, the logical choice is one of the special built sidewalk machines like the "stand-on" Boss Snowrator or the Ventrac SSV however, I have come to the conclusion that I do not want to be exposed to the elements. Additionally, I'd prefer that a piece of expensive equipment have more than a single purpose. With these thoughts in mind, I've started to consider the Ventrac 4520 tractor with a cab. Before making the $40,000 investment (without attachments) I'd value the thoughts of someone who has made a similar investment for snow removal.
