What they ding you for the whole set-up, I'm assuming you purchased their front hitch as well as the blade setup.

I'm in Delaware, so we only get 6-10" max per storm. The usual snowfall is around 3-6". I plow my 100 ft driveway and some neighbors and other friends that live a town or two away. It has never failed me. In short, I absolutely love the freaking thing, especially since I added a winch attachment last year (made it myself - I'm definitely not paying $500 for the one they just released to market when I made my own for a little more than $100 bucks).
Prices have gone WAY up since I purchased mine years ago - at least $500 from what I have seen. I did purchase mine with a front hitch, but I have a 2005, and there is no front hitch made for a 2005, so I modified one made for a 2006. Had to cut the gussets, bend the tow rings brackets to the proper angle, and reattach (see attached photo from the guy who originally had the idea).
There are plenty of videos on YouTube showing people pushing some serious snow with it, but it's definitely not commercial grade. As long as I can clear my driveway and keep the big boys from plowing it shut, I'm golden.
I only wish I had it in 2009 when we got hit with two 24" storms in just a couple of weeks and all I had was a shovel. It was our first year in the house and I was totally unprepared. I ended up paying someone $100 to dig us out each time.
In short, I love the plow and look forward to using it every time!
