I presently have a straight blade on my side by side and have been plowing with that for several years. Want to upgrade to a v plow because it will cut my plowing time down. We have about 1500 feet of driveway with an incline plus plowing around our barn. I've always struggled a little with traction on the side by side even with chains on the rear tires and weight in the bed and figured the tractor would have less of an issue. I have chains for my tractor too. If I get one for my tractor it would have to be a FEL mount because Mahindra doesn't make a v-plow that attaches to the snowblower mount (which I already have and use once winter gets into full swing).
I have a Mahindra 2538 HST Cab and the side by side has a cab and heat too so that's a wash.
My thoughts:
Tractor - Pros: better turning radius, more weight for better traction?, no installation required
Cons: may drive slower than the side by side, seat sucks and no suspension
Side by side - Pros: easier to dig out if it gets stuck, kids can ride with me, less hours on my tractor
Cons: traction, have to install it
Ideas and opinions are appreciated
