That is a big area to clear and sounds like you have enough room to navigate. A friend just put a 72" blower on the back of his 4wd John Deere (actually a Yanmar with JD Badging and parts numbers) and that is amazing how fast and complete a job it does. Plus no piles to get in the way. Maybe a crook in the neck from backing up but he has a long curved steep hill up to his house and this makes short work of it.

 

If I went with a DRW truck, one plan I had was to get a bigger tractor and a blower. I couldn't believe how much I ran up the cost building it though. I was up to 25k for a glamorized green lawn tractor, cab, and 52" blower!

 

It is amazing that even well used 30 hp tractors are still commanding over 12K. The trend of the hobby farms has created a huge demand for the small equipment. And new, as you can see, is very pricey. You would have a job to clear your drive and lot with one that size but it would be great for cleanup and the up close work. I bought an 11HP Honda on tracks 33" and it will handle any snow I put it up against and throw it over 40 feet. But I have long gravel drives and no matter how I adjust the shoes it finds the rocks and throws them like a major league pitcher. Works great on the sidewalks and paths though.

 

The 9' plow, unfortunately, was not a V-blade. Truck is definitely more comfortable to sit in and plow than bouncing along in a tractor.

 

As my user name implies, I use a Bronco II to plow my hobby farm, and I installed a Lock-Right in the open diff rear......AMAZING!

 

This is why I ordered an Elocker. This from Eaton who makes them.

Dollar for dollar, there's not a better box to check off on the options list when buying a new truck than a limited-slip or a locking rear differential.

These traction-enhancing options aren't available on all pickup makes or models. But if the new truck you are purchasing does offer one, get it.

Barney Gwozdz, a tech specialist with Eaton, an axle supplier to automakers, said standard clutch-driven limited-slip (anti-spin) differentials are "your base-level traction-aiding device," providing an additional level of traction beyond the standard "open" differential.

Gwozdz said these types of differentials work well in situations where rear driving tires are on the ground, but one is losing some grip when power is being applied, such as at a slippery boat ramp or driving on wet pavement, loose gravel or sandy roads.

The best factory option, however, is a true mechanically locking differential such as the Eaton G80 or any of the electronic-locking differentials offered by GM, Ford, Ram, Toyota and others.

Lockers, whether mechanically or electrically actuated, apply equal power to both wheels, so even if one tire is off the ground, the tire on the opposite side of the axle can still pull you out of trouble whereas a limited-slip will not be of much help.

 

I wonder why Ford doesn't use a brake based LSD on the Superduty. ABS, traction control, hill decent control, the system is there. It would cost a couple dollars to implement but VASTLY improves traction.
My 2023 Tacoma is a 6spd manual 4x4 and has an "ATRAC" button. You can lift two opposite tires going diagonal through a ditch. It will stop and spin like open differentials. You push the atrac button and it feels darn closr to front and rear locked diffs. Yes it has a rear diff lock but I just like to play around.
software and a different brake booster is all i see. Admittedly i dont know much about the system but it works very well and can be turned off or not used on ice for latteral stability.
