How do you plow snow?

[BossofBBQ]

How do y'all remove snow? Plow truck, snowblower, 3-point back blade, etc.
Our primary snow mover is the 1989 Jeep Cherokee XJ with a 6'6" Western snowplow. It does a real good job with a front diff lock, 5 speed with the 4.0L. It's nice to have a heated cab. Traction becomes an issue in wet, sloppy spring snows though.

Nice plow rig! I wish i was in out of the cold with a heater, lol.
Kubota BX23s with the front loader and a quik-hitch with a 5ft rear blade. Nothin fancy, but gets the job done for me.

Shovels and walk-behind Snowblowers, for all my life so far -- although this will be my first winter with a tractor, so I'm expecting that I'll find uses for the FEL bucket in moving snow around, and it's possible I'll get a 3-pt back blade for other uses, really, but maybe also useful for snow... Open-station tractor, so still out in the weather!

Edit to add: I did have use of a small plow rig on a DR Field & Brush Mower "tractor" at one property that I used to manage. Still "walk-behind" out in the weather. BTW, the snow blower that went with that DR pretty much sucked -- only a single stage, and the blower was not as wide as the DR's wheels....

My primary rig is a cabbed tractor with 7' front and rear blades, rear snow blower for large dumps. I have a Western plow for my F250 8' bed crew cab, but it's a royal pain plowing driveways with it.

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 1,400+ 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.

After many decades we have evolved to what's pictured. Next if we live long enough will be a cabbed machine. From shovels ... to walk behind blowers ... to garden tractors that never really worked well .... to an efficient system. All about money.

We used a 6x6 atv with a 6ft blade.. We see real snow every winter.

Heavy snow I use my Cabbed Kioti but for light stuff I also have a plow on one of my quads and/or my JD 790. I also have a 3 point blower if needed but we have not had a winter require blower in several years.

Can someone show us “fake” snow as opposed to “real” snow?

FEL and rear blade.
