Big bad snow plows

Ready to go in Munich.
There are many different snow removal vehicles for interior streets and ally ways. Many have salt/grit dispensers on the rear also. The plow that gets rid of snow on our sidewalk looks like a powered rototiller with a blade in teh front and no tines on the rear.

I swear this is the truth….Back in the 70s a man in my neighborhood had a purple Gremlin with a homemade snow plow attached to the front.

I'd not have had what appears to be a Lada Niva as my first (or tenth) answer. Cool set up though.
