Has anyone used a clamp on snow blade for plowing in the winter? I was really hoping that Deere made a blade for the 200CX loader and my 2305 that would swap out with the bucket (after all, what are those quick release pins for? just other buckets??) but it seems like only the 300/400 loaders accept a snow plow.
Anyhow.... I have about a 150' driveway fairly level and straight so I don't think a snowblower is warranted. I'm sort of torn between springing for a front snow plow from Deere and a plow that would clamp onto the bucket of the FEL (manual angle adjustment) Paynes Forks makes one......

I'm leaning towards the clamp-on as it would be a snap to remove for loader work and move any piles of snow that accumulate. (I'm in CT, so I don't see a tremendous amount of snow on an annual basis - but I think it would be easier than removing a dedicated snow plow and hooking up the loader and then back again.)
Anyone care to throw in their $0.02 ?? Thanks!!
Oh yeah, I guess option 3 is just try to manage plowing with the loader only this first winter with it and see how it goes....
