Never had any luck tryin' to clear snow with a blade on a tractor but I never had any chains either. I keep thinkin' snowblower, snowblower.

I only need a snow shovel at home but I have to pay someone to plow snow elsewhere. Never was a problem since 2003 except in the last three years it is costing more and more.

I might spring for a snowblower and some chains for my 'Bota. If not a front one, a rear mounted one at least.

That way there is no problem figuring out where to put the snow. You just fling it 20 feet and make it deeper elsewhere.
