STRONGSVILLE, Ohio - Residents living on Hunt Road in Strongsville were busy on Friday digging out from mother nature's latest winter storm.

While for most, shovels and snowblowers were the instruments of choice, one resident decided those options would take too long in clearing his 200-foot long driveway.

For Randy Burgett, a Mustang Skid Steer Loader was the right tool for the job.

"It's an expensive snowblower," chuckled Burgett.

Burgett normally uses the loader in his job in the home improvement industry, but realized when he bought it seven years ago that it can be utilized in other areas.

While he has received some good-natured ribbing from some of his neighbors while riding his 'expensive snowblower,' Burgett joked that everybody likes it when he drives it out to help clear their snow.

"This is like a toy to me," said Burgett. "I enjoy riding it but I don't like being out here in the winter time."

With all the outdoor equipment options available to consumers, it is only fitting that a Strongsville resident chose to ride a mustang.
