Huh.?? Like people don't people don't use the bucket to clear snow.?? Where are you from.??.....Venus.??
Folks do use FELs even here on Venus, and I have too... once. Even then, I gave up and just used the bucket to smash the snow flat so I could drive on it. It did make for a good early season snowfall packing to ice-up the gravel though. As I said before, it is just about the worst tool for the job that there is. Having to scoop up a load of snow, then back up, K to the side, dump, then do it again 150000 times is NOT what I would consider a good solution to a problem that occurs weekly. My drive is 800 feet long and 10-12' wide. 4 quick passes with my 3' lawn tractor blower makes it a 20 minute job. 2 passes with my big tractor w/ 6' blower makes it a 10-15 minute job. For a light snowfall, 4 fast passes with my ATV w/ plow is a 10 minute job. I could use my tractor in reverse w/ grading blade for the same effect in 15 minutes if I wanted too. Using the FEL...4 hours? Use one if you want.
