Would this be strong enough to pull a mid-size sedan out of a ditch? Like if you get stucked in the snow, can someone pull you out with this? Thanks

We've used this for pulling vehicles out of the sand at the beach. It should be ok in snow as well.

It does not work well in wet snow, primarily because the chute keeps clogging. Beyond that, it works harder so I have actually had the battery run out on me just short of finishing my driveway due to the intensity/thickness of the snow. But you know, even struggling through the wet snow with this is SO MUCH BETTER than struggling to shovel the wet stuff. It's still faster, easier on my back, and less difficult.

Yes my friend-this is the precise reason that I bought it - to blow a light snow from my walks, cars, etc... It works great for light snow blowing! Of course it depends on the temperature when u blow snow, the colder the better=the earlier the better/as the day warms up, the snow tends to stick to things and then u will have to break out the shovel or broom.

This blower is overkill for 1-2" of snow but it would certainly handle it. It's a heavy machine however so a lighter duty blower would be easier to use with that small amount of snow.

It would work a lot better than a normal snow shovel....If you angle the handle down, then it keeps the blade of the scoop from 'digging in'. The scoop would kind of glide over the top of the snow and the snow would slide up into the scoop. When its full, then you can guide it over to where you want to dump it...never having to lift heavy snow. I love it.

Yes...thin layer of gravel will be just fine, but to loose gravel and weight in wagon will find it hard to pull...if used on sand its not recommended too hard to pull

It's pretty strong, I would think it will do the trick. Just make sure it is attached to the pole securely.

Most cars weigh 2800 to 4500 pounds. This winch is rated for 8000 pounds. Most experts on rigging suggest having a winch 2x the strength needed. So, yes, if you are doing vehicle recovery for vehicles stuck in snow, mud & ditches, it's perfect. If you need a winch to pull a semi-truck weighing 12,000 pounds,than no. M-8000 (8 thousand pound rating).

I probably depends on how heavy your load is. The tires are inflated tires, not solid tires. It pulls really well on my lawn. I can tell you that if I went beach camping I would definately bring it. I do love it.

Mm... I am not sure what your question is. You are asking for confirmation to the statement "This pulley is indicated by the manufacturer to hold (safely) equipment in the air while there is property underneath." Yes? If you are, I am not aware of any such statement by the manufacturer. If you are asking if this thing is strong enough for your purpose, that depends. I'm using it to hold up a 24 ft fiberglass ladder. My cars are underneath.

With a decent wind, it might not hold. I am not the manufacturer, but I would not recommend that use for these. I can just see the tarp getting pulled by wind and scratching the vehicle pretty easily.

This works great on my driveway up to 3 inches if it is a light snow. On heavy snow, it is hard to push. I do not have sidewalks so I can not help you on that question.

Correct. This is fairly large if you're moving more than 4-5" of snow. The shovel itself is heavy and if the snow is wet it is a bit tricky to lift.

Probably, the handle has a soft rubber coating and is designed to be pulled by hand. It would wag back and forth if towed, but its possible. If the handle was modified to be hitched to your lawn tractor, it would work better.

It woul work with any size tractor. Once you start to pull, the grubber grabs tighter. The harder you pull, the tighter it grabs. Your limitation will be how big of a stump you can pull. The type of tree also determines whether or not you can pull it. If it has shallow horizontal roots, it is much easier than with something that has a taproot. I have a 33 horse tractor and it pulls 3-4" trees all day if the right kind but will struggle with a taproot. Bottom line... It was well worth the purchase as I have cleared the pathes I intended to. I just ha to use my chain saw and a shovel every now and then. It woul work with any size tractor. Once you start to pull, the grubber grabs tighter. The harder you pull, the tighter it grabs.

The shovel can pick up more than I care to lift. It's very wide and sturdily built. It did relieve strain on my back but the load still has to be moved. In this case my shoulders will get tired after a while. We had two big storms with in a few days of each other. After the snow plows went by on each day the snow was very high on the end of my driveway. I was able to get the yukon under the edge and tilt it back, however that time I could hardly slide the sled. I would consider that example extreme and wouldn't hold it against the yukon. One trick I've been using is spraying the bucket and the bottom with wd40 or vegetable oil to help with expelling snow. The unit was so big that I had to take it out of the box to get it in my mini van.

It can. In fact, it comes off by itself occasionally. I would recommend using it, though, as it helps pull down snow chunks.
