With the snopwblower, you will quickly want to add a cab. It is almost always the case that the direction you want to aim the discharge will be into the wind and your face will get a bit cold being covered with snow all the time.
A blade is much more comfortable to use and usually the fastest method until you reach the limit of what it can push or what you have room to pile up.
I have both the front blade and blower for my JD 4100. I only use the blower when I need to due to very heavy snowfall. On the small JD's, most of the parts for the front mount ar the same for the blower and the blade, so if you are getting the blower, you might as well get the blade too.
I am thinking I would like to trade my front blower for a rear blower that I could just leave on the back of the tractor all winter (leaving the blade on the front). It would come in handy for the occasional drift and the big pile left by the highway plws at the end of the drive.
