............. I'm convinced the quad is the way to go for moving snow! I put a 60" warn snow plow on my Brute Force this year and it's just the cat's meow. I can move it faster, out of tighter places, put it in more out of the way places and do less ground damage.
Now, all I ever used was a back blade on the tractor. Looking back all the time and direction changes just wore me down. I do have a QA that allowed me to put the blade on the FEL but I was just to leery (probably unnecessarily) of the stresses it put on the FEL arms so I quit doing it.
With the snow we've got this year, I will admit that I got the tractor out once to move piles of snow out of the way with the FEL so I have room to make more piles but as far as clearing snow, I'm a quad guy from now on, besides admittedly funner!!

She had no trouble at all proving once again that size and weight matters. His Cub is a little smaller than a BX Kubota and the snow was as high as his hood. The L3400, weighted tires, and mower is around 6500 pounds. Two feet taller helped too. Couple of the neighbors accused me of mowing the snow. I told them I left it on for the weight. The real reason is that I couldn't get the pto shaft to release in the cold.
