Nice thread, we live by the river and the wind is pretty fierce at times.
I take care of the road, about 1/2 mile long, curves and hill's, a real treat.
I use a power angle, front blade, my tractor never came with a loader.
I "had" installed a rear push blower on it,
and as a few stated, if your up in age, it does get hard on the neck,
facing backwards all the time.
So this year, I purchased a rear "pull" blower, haven't installed it yet, but can't wait to test er out.
The push one will be going up for sale.
I also added a foot and half to each side on the front blade,
this thing will go through anything, in the summer, I remove the add-on's,
and can use the front blade to grade etc. I also have a rear blade that I
have never used in the winter.
What I have found is a good front blade, ( whether it be attached to your bucket or not)
and a good rear blower, I prefer the pull type, ( I think,lol )
and if needed, a set of chains and your set to go.
My newly purchased blower.
