My two trucks can be seen on my website, but only one is shown with plow & salter. I've also added a skidsteer for this winter.

My equipment is:

1. 2004 GMC 2500HD with 8.5' Fisher V-plow & 8' AirFlo Stainless Steel Bed Salter

2. 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 with 8' Meyer + pro-wings & Buyers single stage tailgate salter

3. 2004 Bobcat 553 with 72" snow blade & 48" smooth bucket

4. (2) 2000? Honda single stage snowblowers

I'll be in the GMC. One employee (and my dad riding shotgun) will be in the Dodge. Another two employees will split time in the Bobcat. Snowblowers are used on only two properties that have some sidewalks to do.

Since we're municipal we have alot of equipment, but at the site I work at we have already run:
1) Chevy 2500 dump w/ 8' plow and salt box
2) Chevy p-up w/ 8' plow
3) 2005 International dump w/ 10' plow
4) Toro groundsmaster w/ thrower or broom
5) And our newest addition to the family a Bobcat Toolcat with bucket, plow, broom and snow thrower.(Still on order though)

For the light snow no more than 4 or 5 inches they are great. More than that we use the throwers then switch back to brooms to get the dust off before de-icing.
