It will do a bit better than pushing the snow with a shovel. I had a '68 wheel horse with a blade, and it was good for clearing a few inches of snow off the side walk, but not much more than that. Problem is it wouldn't push much 'old' snow out of the way. More of a toy than anything, but fun to have. The tractor is a bit light in the shorts to do much in the way of removing snow, but just my opinion.
