There is another aspect here Pilgrim about the attached back hoe for snow removal. I don't know if you ever confronted this but I know a gentleman somewhere on this forum found it a pain in the backside for having the backhoe on for snow removal. It seemed anytime he put downward pressure on the bucket, the backhoe would kind of "take over" the tractor and wanted to lift the front end up. This caused him the inability to scrape down to that last layer of snow when cleaning his drive. He always clears his property of snow now with the back hoe off.
My old Ferguson didn't have 'down power' on the fel so I couldn't experience that . But maneuvering with that big hoe on the back was tough and sometimes dangerous around my house and barn.
I left my BH off the Mahindra and have a 6ft blade on the 3pt to help with the snow. It's a lot shorter than a BH but still needs watching when backing and turning.
