A snowblower doesn’t need the weight and travels on clear ground unlike a rear blade. (I wouldn’t “push” a rear blade, only “pull”).
I’d think a setup with a snowblower on front and blade (plow) on back, or snowblower on back and plow or bucket on front would make a good snow clearing machine.
Each have their advantages and disadvantages. (Speed vs snowbanks vs wind vs getting into spots, etc..)
You are right about that!
Easy to mount an old Meyer snowplow on the front. That lets you push snow with the speed of a pickup truck. I'm running the angle cylinders from rear remotes. The snowblower saves the day when the sides pile too high and when you have to clear the deep drifts along fencelines and in low spots. It ain't pretty, but it sure is a snow machine.
