hey guys its been a while since i've posted here, as some as you may know last winter was my first winter plowing and took an easy. well this year i picked up a few contracts that want plowing along with lawn maint ect. my problem is a few of these parking lots are very large in size and i'm a one man show and don't think i can clear all these lots and my drives in a timely maner. last winter i had 20 drives "also lawn customers" and 2 parking lots. well this winter i know i have the 2 lots from last year and at least 10 of those drives, i also have a storage unit, a church "that has a very large parking lot", and about 4 other lots. i'm just trying to figure out how to get all this done in one night. last winter it took me about 8 hours to get all my stuff done working by my self. i figure if i add all these new accounts i will not be able to finish in a timely manner. i'm also trying to avoid buying a second truck at this time because i don't feel i could use it all year round and don't want a truck sittling idel for half a year. i was thinking about renting a skid steer with a push box on it. My question is about how much should i expect to spend on rentals to i rent it for the entire winter or every storm. also is there a way to move it from parking lot to parking lot or do they normaly sit at one site for the entire winter? also how will a skid steer fit on a trailer with a 10ft or so push box?? do you have to take the push box off?
thanks in advance hope this isn't a stupid question
