I think it might take 4 hours to clear the lot with compact tractor loader/back blade. Mention of skid steer. Would a skid steer with snow bucket be better than tractor/loader bucket/back blade? Are chains required on a 4wd tractor (using loader bucket and back blade)? How about the skid steer. In the summer, if they drove the skid steer on the grass, I suppose they would tear up the grass?
They said not so enthused about snow plowing pickup truck, I guess because they think they can't remove the snow like they would want. Plus DMV registration and insurance. However, if I were driving the snow plow truck I think I could fix most of the problems, but it would take more time. Pull snow away, then push it to a corner. However, I am not volunteering for 3 in the morning blizzard time snow plowing. I already use my tractor to mow their 2 acre field- in the summer, at time of my choosing.
I can see the merit in the "cut a deal with a church member" strategy, let him attach the churches snow plow to his truck, handle the church, then go out and use it to make some money.
While the contract service does a quick job, it still leaves a lot of car stalls at least partially blocked with snow. This is why I think they want to pick-up the snow and dump it on the grass areas. Plus the average 5000 dollar per year expense. Long Island NY, 5 to 6 snows per year. In the last 10 years the deepest single snow was 27 inches. The church looked like it had a snow wall built around it after plowing.
All the other questions about insurance and liability, I don't know. Lots of ways to go, I will discuss with them, but they asked me about tractor or Bobcat idea.
The more I think about it, they should just keep paying contractor. Thanks

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.
