    Once I move out of the city and onto a couple acres I want one of these more than a fancy plow with heated cab.

    they are used because of their price and operators dont have work hours like truck/unimog drivers.
    they have pretty limited amount of salt payload.
    google for jcb fastrac, some sort of substitute for MB trac, it is only tractor that can carry some larger amount of salt.
    also backhoes are used for this to help if trucks can access everywhere.

    Most mowing around here is done by smaller farm tractors without a cab. They have ROPS bar only.....

    "More than 400 vehicles ready if the snow begins to fall, that more than 20 thousand tons of salt have been prepared in the warehouses, which already preventively spread on mountainous sections of roads, bridges, overpasses and underpasses."
    they have 2600km of roads to clean. + 600km of sidewalks and secondary roads
