Humor:  it says this huge tank has a Dodge Slant 6 powertrain (which seems weak for such heft) but then says there is a superchargered Detroit Diesel for moving the snow (which seems huge.)  Actually, throwing snow is heavy so I get the diesel.  Sure, the Slant 6 is all about gearing but I bet this thing doesn't go over 35 mph on dry pavement.

In reply to John Welsh :

I'm not sure that should ever be driven over 35mph?

It would be a great ZAV though.

That's right in my backyard!

Thankfully, I'm an adult.

I grew up in a small town in Quebec and the town had one of those Sicard snow blowers. You wouldn't believe how much snow one will move and how fast you can fill a dump truck to haul it away.

If you watch the first bit of this clip you'll see one of the areas where the City of Montreal dumps the snow........look at the permanent tipping spots...

As a Minnesotan about to get our first real snow storm and a new 928hd toro in the garage, I enjoy this thread.
