As others have already stated, the salt and brine they are putting on the roads are the biggest negative of snow removal.
But, that is not an issue for your plan. Check on Craigslist. There are plenty of used plows out there you could probably
cobble something together out of for your application. Some brackets, a little welding and wiring and I think you could have something very useful.
