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...
