Where are you located? If in NY whereabouts? What is your average winter snowfall per winter? How many times has the contractor plowed per season on average over the last 10 years? I was in the snow plowing business for 35+ years. Does your church have any insurance requirements for this contract ? I plowed for a church for approx. 30 years, ending a couple years after the church disbanded and the building was leased. I did the sidewalks , but was able to do most of the sidewalk with the truck. and shoveled the rest.In the beginning church members were going to do the sidewalk and they purchased a new snowblower. After a couple years they werent getting it done so I took over the sidewalks. As far as suggestions if you plan on using a tractor with a loader you should plan on a 4wd tractor with a cab and heat. You could also get a snow pusher to go on the loader. You might be able to rent or lease a machine for the winter.The other option is a plow truck. As mentioned maybe some church member with a plow truck would be willing to do it . The weak link in the chain will be the labor. If you yourself are going to do it or other volunteers you will need to be sure that everyone is traineed to properly operate the equipment. Also everyone needs to be on the same page as to how to plow the lot. (where/where not to push/ pile snow etc.} Often volunteers can lose interest and become unreliable, and unskilled operators can tear up equipment and damage curbs grass etc. Post back with more details if you want . Good luck.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
