Snow Blower versus Plow on Lawn Tractor/Mower

[Great-Kazoo]

I recently moved from a pretty normal neighborhood house to a more rural situation in unincorporated Adams County. The new place has a bunch of concrete including a 50' x 70' slab near an outbuilding and a pretty large driveway... somewhere around 2500 square feet.

I really like my 28" Honda 2-stage snowblower, but I'm wondering if I would rather have a plow for either my John Deere D140 lawn tractor or my Walker C19 zero turn mower. My first choice would be the blade setup for the Walker zero turn because it's very maneuverable and I'd eventually like to sell the John Deere just because I don't want to store 2 mowers.

Is anyone running a plow setup on a Walker or a little lawn tractor? How well do these smaller plows work? I like my snowblower, but even with today's relatively light snow, I found myself throwing the same snow more than once because my concrete areas are so big.

Thanks in advance,

Rod

light's the key word. I had a 48" plow on an older craftsman 22ish hp mower. Once you get wet heavy snow you'll work the unit. There was no issue moving up to 4" 6 became some work. Wet heavy and the neighbor with his commercial snow blower and plow did it for us. Forget the walker, unless you want to walk back from who knows where on the property, eventually. it will be easier putting chains and weights on the 140. But, owning one of them, i wouldn't count on it working for more than 3-4 times of decent snow.


2500 sq. ft and rural property? get a decent sized workhorse. This way it works year round, not just for snow.

Buy once, cry once.
