Cool, I don't plow with mine though. Could probably move piles of snow
if I needed to, though. Of course, being 2WD/two wheel steer, and
having very iffy brakes, I try to stay away from the road. And
cliffs.... and my Audis...
More pedal fun - There was a forklift I used to use that had a brake on
the left, and a two-way gas pedal in the front. Press the right side,
go forward. Press the left, go backwards...
