The catch on the pushing it is that if you get a lot of snow and it does
not melt in between then you will run out of room unless you push it way
way back.
A blower can be used to essentially pile it higher if need be, or blow
it over the existing pile.
I am guessing that where Jaime is, that the snow likely melts between
snowfalls so that it is not an issue.
Here in the GWN I don't think the little tractor would do very well. You
need a bobcat with a bucket and tracks at a minimum to move snow here.

I agree, although if you mostly had dry powder snow a garden tractor with a
bunch of weight will move a surprising amount. Other than the 2 1/2 foot
blizzard we had last year my Cub Cadet 70 (7hp) has never been overwhelmed by
snow. It would be even better if I fluid filled the tires and added a weight
box and another set of wheel weights.
That said Jamie lives in Jersey. His problem will be that his snow is almost
always wet and heavy...
A ride on snowblower is going to be nice for his long drive.
A walk behind snowblower is MUCH more manuverable...

If you get much snow where you are, I have to think you would be better
off with a blower attachment than a plow.
If you geta blower, you might also want to watch for a cab as having the
snow blow back in your face is not much fun either.

Hi everyone,
This morning I picked up a nice 318 that went up for sale locally for
$1500. 610 hours, 50" deck. Recently serviced with all fluids, basic
tuneup done, etc. The E320 wagon did admirable job bringing it home too.
Overall, I'm very satisfied. I just mowed the lawn in a fraction of the
time it took me before. I needs a bit of tuning and adjustments. Service
manual CD is on order to get this done next weekend.
Next is to find a plow for the winter!
