yeah about 10 seconds into your first attempt due to weight of snow vs weight of machine

Injun no daft, he stayed in his wigwam on the reservation. I think in the later pages there was a mention of fitting an engine?

Wish I was sitting on me erse over the last few weeks shifting snow, look, snow blindness

...and I was thinking of a simple tow bar attachment for a reverseing snowplough !

P.S: I was simply attempting a little levity with the injun/engine pun; might I have caused offence?

Nice idea, but theres not exactly a lot of weight to give you traction. Nice on the flat with 2 or 3" of snow but up here in the valleys with 9" and hills everywhere...

Oh, was my sense of humour going astray me thinks? Sitting down was reference to being like many I guess, sick and tired shifting snow by hand. Thankfully the thaw is on!!

I'm surprised this hasn't come up yet, but how do you turn a dishwasher into a snowplough?

Give her the shovel....
