TractorTYMe has some pretty good videos, He also loves his Rear Pull Snowblower.

LS XR4155 cab and hydrostatic drive, front loader
Rear 3 point blower but i haven’t used the blower much because not much snow here the past couple years.
Been mainly using 9 foot rear blade which weighs 14,000+ pounds, works pretty well.
Previous 20+ years I plowed snow with 8N Ford tractor and rear blade, got the job done but if it was extremely cold it could get miserable without a cab, I do have a pretty big yard and driveway.

I'm going to try moving some snow with my 8N this winter, just for fun on warmer days. 9 foot rear blade is a large unit, that must make fast work of any driveway/lot!

For the last few years I have used a self-contained snowblower on my Cat wheel loader.

My brother used to use a Model A Ford doodlebug with a plow.

@airbiscuit Did you see MK Martin came out with a hybrid pull type snowblower.

After plow setup 1, switched to QA setup 2, then to broom on the lawnmower. Never going back. Broom gives me throw distance, complete removal of ice & water (dry in an hour), very fast hookup, and 14 mph travel speed, great fuel efficiency. No more ice berms on the side to crowd in. Even perfect operation with high drifts, mush, powder, leaves, and sidewalks. Worked well on the gravel too, when ice covered. Now I'm on concrete.

We have a F450 V10 Dump Truck with a 9' V plow that does most of it. I also have a Cat 246 Skidsteer with a 8' snow pusher and a 84" bucket that I use if it gets deep

Previous house - 5 years with a 20 hp riding lawn mower with a plow.

Current house - first 5 years plowed with a truck, Ford F150, graduated to a Kubota tractor with a 7' snow blower for 20+ years, and now do most of the plowing in a heated cab, (kubota utv with a boss vee plow). The tractor gets used when we get real snow, (over 24" = real snow).
