We used to use ATV's with blades for clearing sidewalks and they worked very well for that purpose, but all they had to do was basically roll 4' of snow off the sidewalk and over the curb into the parking lot where the plow truck could get to it.

Later we experimented with a subframe which held a small gas engine behind the ATV, and a snowblower intended for a garden tractor in the front. While it worked well it din't work any better than a good walk-behind model that cost half as much. Besides, you could only put one of them in the back of a truck, you can put 4 walk-behinds in the same pickup box.

Best of luck.
