I don稚 have any useful advice on which tractor is best for you, but....the snow issue.. maybe I do. We live down a long , very narrow dirt road. Plowing snow takes considerable planning. I知 move snow assuming it痴 going to be there for a while and more is coming soon. I make piles in areas where if we got 2 overnight.. I can still push snow aside so we can at least get out if need be.
