Would you want to do this with your smart?

I saw this on German Ebay. I was wondering how this little car would handle this in the snow. I don't think a smart would be anywhere near first choice for a plow vehicle.

I reckon it probably isn't so good for those tow bolts, especially if you come in contact with a curb while moving snow...

I have used my smart as a plow before. How else are you going to get through those drifts. I just didn't attach a blade to the front

I wouldn't. Mostly because we don't get much (any) snow here is FL.

Over on the Yaris Forum there is a guy who made a plow vehicle out of a totaled Yaris. Worked pretty good and got stellar mileage.
