Well my current and only tractor I've ever owned is a 2N Ford with a 5 ft blade on the 3pt hitch that can be angled, or turned completely backwards. It's wonderful for cleaning up to 12 " of snow off my road and driveway (I can get through anything up to the oil pan on the tractor) My favourite snow removal tool when I was a kid was my Dad's 4020 John Deere. I used it with a 8 ft Mckee dual auger front mount snow plow, a 7 ft dozer blade, or the 46A front end loader depending on the year... The best for moving deepest drifts was the loader...
The power shift allowed you to roll into the bank in 4th or 5 th gear and flip into 4th reverse with no clutching required to back away ... The snow plow was best for cleaning 1 to 3 feet deep snow up in the yard ... Dozer worked best when we had less snow, and just wanted to clean up a light dusting or small drifts. The problem with the Mckee was if you ever plugged that sucker up and busted a shear pin, you could easily kill 20 minutes with a small shovel cleaning it out by hand to free up the augers and blower ... Chains helped both the dozer and especially the snow blower to get a good bite in the harder packed snow ... Our loader had some bucket extensions that fit over the tines to allow it to hold more snow. The only drag with the 4020's for loader work was that they had the hydraulics on the console by the steering wheel, not handy to the right hand like the more modern units ... Thanks for the memories ... Lyle.

Tractor Hydraulics - The Basics - by Curtis Von Fange. Hydraulics was one of the greatest inventions for helping man compound the work he can do. It’s amazing how a little floor jack can lift tons and tons of weight with just the flick of a handle. What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
