Snow Snow Blower Vs FEL Mounted Snow Plow

   / Snow Blower Vs FEL Mounted Snow Plow #31  
I've been moving snow for many years here in northeast PA. I clear 1.25 miles of private gravel road and several driveways. I've had rear mount snowblowers and FEL plows on all of my Kubotas but do most of the work with the FEL plow. I can move 5 times as much snow in half the time than I can with the blower. There are some seasons where the blower isn't used at all and I just keep it mounted for ballast. The blower is used mostly in deep snow when the banks get too high or in tight quarters where places to pile snow are limited.

Since FEL plows are a bit cheaper, have fewer moving parts and do a better job on unpaved surfaces, I'm curious why blowers seem to be so popular here. I'd appreciate comments as to your preference and why.
I've used dozens of setups over the last 40 years and this has been the most effective thus far. A Snowsport SnowPlow using a QA Receiver Plate and a 48" Rear Snowblower.
