Sno-pusher or 3-Point Rear Blade?

After doing some research today I'm now leaning to the Mahindra Max26XLT over the 1120. More power, greater capacity, larger tires, and bucket. If I am wrong going with the Max 1120, I would rather do so overspending a little than find out I need to spend even more to move up in size later. The Max26 seem to be a tractor between the 30-hp Cub and the Max 1120.

Pusher quicker removing snow,bucket better for heavy wet snow and drifts purchase pusher if not satisfied could always sell it.

I had a 5-ft Metor rear blower on my Cub Cadet. It was great when we had a big storm. But generally, with a big storm, we also had big wind, which meant the tractor and I generally had more snow on me and the tractor than out in the woods. The other drawback I found to the blower was when we had heavy, wet snow. There were times I loved having the blower and other years when it never got used.

Thank you for all the advice. I'll look into a pusher and the rubber blade to protect the blacktop.

I appreciate all the thoughts.

If you want the best possible performance while not damaging pavement, look into Ultra High Molecular Weight (UHMW) Polyethylene edges. They cut better than rubber, and last much longer. They are pricey, but worth every penny imho.
I run them on front and rear plows.

Off with the bucket and on with a SSQA mower? Does anybody make one?
