Pinnacle of automotive design
 I know she's a bit rough around the edges, but a working CMP is a sight to behold, isn't it? I used it this afternoon after our Chinese Elm unfortunately lost it's two largest branches and I had to cut the main trunk down. The Chev making sure it didn't hit the shrubs it was overhanging.

She's a mix

The thingie on the (Ford) bumper is a set of fairleads, as the winch cable has been routed high on the outside of the chassis, just to be different. It also has Ford doors from one of the old Ringwood Timber trucks.

Working CMP
For hard work, you can't go past a Ford! Just check out this F15A bulldozer conversion. A winch driven off the front snout of the crankshaft drives through many sprockets, chains and gears to raise and lower the blade. The ingenuity of some people!
I'm sure it would make short work of Canadian snow.
