Weight helps a little, chains a lot, but rear blades aren't great for heavy snow. I've got by with my rear blade for all but 2 of our snowfalls but for them the driveway was just getting too narrow so it became loader time. My banks are now 4 feet high and 8 feet wide. This year a blower would have paid off. My tractor was equipped with mid-mounted PTO and front blower on the lot but I made them take it off and replace with the loader. Big mistake . Should have kept both.
