    Only one way to find out...



    7'4" Fisher Homesteader. I do two small apartment building lots for work. Took a few attempts lol. Also this storm is insane. I had that lot cleared 5 hours before I took this video.

    Hard to tell with that much snow on the ground, but the first 20' or so goes up about 5' in elevation. Around here, that's a hill lol.

    As a teenager/early 20-something, I used to plow with a '79 chevy blazer. The trick was to always take it in small increments and try to start at the top of a hill rather than the bottom. Gravity and momentum are your friends!
