Has anyone come up with an idea to strap or tie on a shovel? Would be nice to carry a scoop or push shovel around, to clean up the small areas that you cant reach when plowing snow. Some of my customers are seniors and it is nice to do " the small stuff" for them.

I haven't needed to carry a shovel around but sometimes when I'm filling and leveling my 1/2 mile long driveway I throw a rake on top of the cab with a bungie cord.

What about some bungee cords on the lift arms. Seems like it would work.

I bungee a short shovel diagonally across the grill behind the cab. A few pieces of wire through the grill make for good bungee attaching points. A bonus is that the shovel is always warm and snow-free when you go to use it.

I took my avalanche shovel off of my snow machine. It has a quick release telescoping handle. Fits neatly behind the seat, I tried the side arm thing, too much movement with the arms. I might look at the back grill idea for a larger shovel.

you could take a couple of old bearing races or a 1/2 " wide piece of pipe and tack weld it to the side the machine and slide it in

ditto with the bungies and shovel on the roof. i went to wrapping the bungies around the shovel once, too; lost a shovel last year.
