Patches it all depends on the ammount of snow. I love my blower but am going to get a fel qa blade so i can clean it up quickly then blow the piles to a destination. I do need to make it so that there is an ability to back drag though. I have a spot for 2/3 cars where my house is that is 3 cars deep. another spot 2 cars wide finishing the L shape around my house. the main parking has a deck and well infront of it so i dont/cant push the snow that way. leaving the length of your tractor in uncleared wont work either.
I am doing well with just the blower leaving a good packed surface of 1/2" to drive on. i can also backdrag the bucket wile blowing to do a nice finish. I may make a reversible plow blade holder. kinda like the 360 rear blade that was in the projects page. I suspect though i will have to make it so that the rotation is like a dump cycle rather then swing from side to side. have it hang below the loader frame. may draw that idea up in a fiew.
