: :::If you have a small enough blade, you can push it backwards. That is clumsy and a pain in the neck and back from looking back for 200 ft of driveway. I you really want to plow snow, have a front mounted blade. On the angle of the blade will depend on the snow and how much ballast you have on the blade end of the tractor. Fluffy snow plows easy, you can use more angle. You have to use more angle on fluffy snow or you will leave a dribble trail on the high end of the angle. Wet snow plows hard. You need less angle for wet snow or it will push your tractor sideways depending on how much ballast you have on the wheels on the blade end of the tractor. If you have lots of ballast in the rear tires, use a rear blade pulling the snow. If you have a front blade, you want ballast in the rear tires to getr traction and ballast in the front tires to prevent the tractor from moving sideways when you angle the blade.-----Lee Forbush, Case collector and professional snow plower with a 1982 chevy truck with 200 lbs. in middle of truck and 450 - 700 lbs in rear.
