I was thinking a little while ago, when I plow the main driveway, it is 900' +/- long. It typically takes 3-4 passes each way to get it semi-clean with 6" of snow and then if I want it clean, I have to make that many passes again. That means that I am travelling 7200'-14,400' which equals 1.36 to 2.72 miles at a reported top speed of 6.9 miles per hour with the blade dragging and the tire chains thumping along! And that does not include cleaning out up around the island-turn-around thing (the drive is 5 cars wide up at the garage for about 125' deep! No wonder it took me about 2-1/2 hours to get it clean!

Did I mention that I love my O?
