Local church has asked me for advice about removing snow at their church. The parking lot is paved asphalt, 1.9 acres, 113 parking spaces. Has 12 curbed islands for lights and shrubs. The perimeter is curbed and maybe 60% is just lawn grass beyond. There are two entries to two different streets.
What they currently do is contract the work. I have noticed that whomever they use gets right on the job after snow. That is important. However they are spending about $5k per year for this service. They said so far there have been 5 plow jobs. It is close to $1000/ plow event. They use a truck and push the snow into piles and around the perimeter. Church people do the hand cleanup and salting.
They were asking me what type of tractor. They like idea of tractor with bucket. I guess with bucket they expect they can actually remove the snow-dump it over the curbed perimeter onto the grass. I remarked that many people use a loader tractor with rear blade. Should the blade and bucket have rubber edges? I didn't get much of a response about what if they found someone to do it for 1/2 that price... I guess they want to explore a do it yourself solution. Please chime in with suggestions and experience.

I have also restored and shown model F's, E 27N's, Field Marshall Series 2, David Brown Cropmasters and the old rey Fergeson T 20. At one time I had seven restored examples which were shown and used in ploughing matches.
