We are looking to purchase snow removal equipment to be used on our trail system as well as other areas in the parks. Just wondering what everyone is using for snow removal and what works best. We are looking at getting a cab, snow blower and broom attachments for our John Deere 1550 mower or a utility vehicle with cab and snow plow attachment. Feel free to contact me at jlucas@cityofstorycity.org. Thanks

We’ve used a mid 2000’s diesel cub cadet with a blade and replaced the metal cutting edge with a 2″ rubber cutting edge, due to granite Walk of Fame tiles down town. Our fire dept. has recently purchased a grasshopper mower, with broom, snow blower, and blade attatchment, works well with small areas but to do long trails is kind of a pain. I would strongly recommend a heavy duty utv, with enclosed cab, snow blower and broom attachments, or a heavier duty mower such as you are looking into. The main thing being a heavy duty body to help with withstand the rougher tasks of pushing snow. Also needs to have some sort of 4-wheel lock in to work the most efficiently.
