Momentum is your friend. I have loaded R4s and find they do pretty well as long as I keep the momentum up. I can push snow for more than one hundred feet before I have so much snow piled up in front I lose momentum and have to move it to the side to dump. Of course on ice it is much less. When I push a lot of snow and the tires are on ice the rear of the tractor really wants to go sideways. My driveway goes up a gentle hill and while I can tell it is there the tractor keeps on going. Usually I have a rear blade on but sometimes if it is near freezing a rake works better to bring some of my gravel to the surface. Good luck during the storm, it sounds like a doozy.
