I have used and owned a SNOWBLOWER but we usually don't have more than 6" at a time so the blade works great and I have adjustable dolly wheel's on it to keep it out of the rock. Besides Massy didn't make a front mount blower and a three point is out of the question to much looking back all the time.

The mount is locked to the bucket with the brackets and straps I don't think it is going to pivot but if is does I'll need to come up with a remedy.

I don't plan on running it on the ground but I will have to watch as I agree that the tractor has a lot more power-force available than a ATV.

Update coming when I get to try it out..

If it does not work out, you could also use a compact plow from a Ranger/S-10/Dakota. They can be found cheap, I see them often. Often the trucks they were on wear out long before the plow does.

Time for a update.
Well with the low snow amount this year I have had the chance to use the plow 3 times.

First time we had 5" of dry fluff and it worked great.

Second time it was a very wet heavy 6"+ dumping that I could not get to until the next day, temps fell and the snow froze up. It worked fairly good but would trip easy in the frozen snow. I had to remove the plow and use the bucket and back blade to finish up.

Last snow was dry and drifted, Worked great again.

Removing and re- installing the blade took less time than getting off and back on the tractor.
It stayed centered on the bucket and I don't think I will need to do anything to keep it centered on the bucket.

Think Spring..
