Depends on the type of snow you get. Wet heavy slush a full swath will be slow going, light fluffy snow no problem.
I have a 52 or 54” on my 2400H which is similar power and with the HST tranny it works just fine since can vary speed as needed. Might need a little weight on front to help steer...
I believe the machines that are being tuned have variable displacement hydraulic motors on them. I think your unit has a fixed displacement motor on it so only adjustment is if you can vary the flow output on your skid steer without creating excessive heat and energy loss.
What you are describing in the function of a 4 way - 3 position valve. Mobile versions may be called 6 way - 3 position since have flow path for power beyond.
Things to consider when applying a valve:
Flow rate of system. GPM or LPM
pressure in system PSI or Bar
Function: operating a cylinder...
If you leave the deck on you will need some long ramps to get angle low so the deck doesn’t catch or high center when loading if not loading in a ditch.
Like ruff dog I think you would be better off removing the deck.
I suspect the deck is wider than 50” even with chute deflector tipped up or removed. If backing on be sure to tie the hood down so it doesn’t tip up and get tore off. Might want to tie seat so doesn’t bounce around also.
Can you back into a ditch to load and unload. Not sure on tailgate...
What are the hydraulic issues that you are experiencing? A fitting that keeps leaking vs the HST doesn’t operate properly. To me this would play a big part in concern on tractor being reliable going forward.
I have seen them in use but never owned or operated one. My question is what prevents them from tipping side to side if not on level ground since 3 point arms can float a little independent of each other.
What do the switches activate to disable the hydrostatic transmission and allow the tractor to free wheel? Is there some type of electric clutch between the engine and hydrostatic pump?

Thanks for posting those diagrams on how this circuit functions.
It looks like the high pressure relief is a semi-special relief in that it is pilot operated with pressure in the side. I suspect would require some special tools to disassemble and clean. The cap or plug will unscrew out of...
There is a post in the Branson section of this forum with service manuals.
I believe Asteral (spelling) started the post.
Suggest do a search for service manuals in the Branson forum.
Since not sure what the schematic or circuit looks like I am only guessing but suspect the intent of the screen is to catch debris in lines from cylinder to manifold.
Screens on valves are semi worthless unless they only flow in one direction since flow in the side of the valve screen collects...
My semi educated guess is that the check is pilot operated via a pilot piston so flows in both directions. This flexes the screen causing it to fatigue and fail.
