We have 8 Dingos(525, 425, and 4 413's) with 36" plows and the standard bucket. Up to 12" the plows just keep on pushing, over 12" the buckets will work (it is not a speed demon with the bucket) Each Dingo can do as much work as 6 guys. Plows have rubber edge. Sidewalks is when they are at their best, No problem with power or traction.
Ive heard that if you put the snowblower attachment it goes through just about anything. Any truth to that?

I don't claim to have any experience in this regard but was wondering about dingos myself. I decided I thought this would be more useful/comfortable/quicker.
I don't know for certain but weight and dimensions are probably not all that different. This would seem really easy to work on. Hell, an engine swap could probably be done in a couple hours.
What do you guys think? Am I way off base? I realize the dingo has more attachment options, but I just need a small, efficient, maneuverable and easily tow-able snow unit.
Yea, ney? Pros, cons? Sorry to OP. I hope this isn't a hijack but instead another question furthering the same thread.

yes true true true!!
expensive little bugger, but soooooo worth it..1 pass = clean sidewalk.
plow truck pushed last snowfall into a pile 2 feet tall by 8 feet deep....was right in front of the horse pasture gate. customer wanted it moved dingo powered through the pile and blew it clear into the pasture 30 feet in. customer was super happy, and i now have a new customer.
she thought it was so cute when i showed up, and was amazed at the end when i was finished.
she hated the mess the plow guy left in her grass and loved that i used a blower instead.
also i have a modified swisher atv plow with a RUBBER EDGE for those super picky customers that have super nice driveways, works awesome on the dingo.
