I do the contract plowing and grading for our township in south central Mn. It has been a very wimpy winter so far as has been the past few years. We have 25 miles of roads with 5 township cart ways which are all a mile long. And at the end of these cart ways live country dwellers, who don't own so much as scoop shovel and expect there yards to be plowed. I go in and turn around and then leave. Today they had 5 cars parked in the way, and it will be the last time I go in there. Legally I don't have to go into the yards but usually it is easier to turn around in the yard than in the middle of a narrow driveway. I plow with a Oshkosh and if needed I run a JD 770B motor grader. The Oshkosh gets 90% of the plowing, the grader only goes out if there is mud underneath.
