Reply to comment by richg0404 in New homeowner lawn/ snow removal priorities by Voyyagr

My late husband used a lawn tractor with a plow out here in Western Mass and it worked well. We have a difficult driveway too - it is steep with a 45 degree curve. The secret was that he started plowing well before the snow accumulated. He'd plow a few times before the snow was over with. Personally, I think it was overkill. He loved that lawn tractor, it was his toy.

You are right. Making multiple passes during a storm will make things much more doable.

My point was that a powerful snow blower will handle a 1 ft snowfall fairly easily (unless it is slushy) whereas a 1 ft snowfall will cause problems for a lawn tractor with a plow is you try it with 1 pass.
