Using tractor snow blade or snow blower removaling snow

When a heavy snow storm hits your region, you need to be prepared for it. Many people use a lawn tractor equipped with a snow blade to plow the snow off the sidewalks and driveway. Others use snowblowers to move the snow out of the way. Both are excellent ways to remove snow, but both have their own problems as well.
Price
For a consumer on a budget, a snow blade is much cheaper. Snow blades cost anywhere between $150 to $400. Snowblowers start at roughly $400 and can go well over $1,000.
Engine
A snow blade relies on the tractor to propel it. If you do not have a tractor, then buying a tractor would cost at least another $1,000. A snowblower has its own engine and requires nothing else to propel it.
Plowing vs, Blowing
Snow blades plow snow. The snow will pack onto the sides of the driveway, causing the driveway to become narrower during large snowstorms. The only way to get around this is to push the snow to an open area. This might not be possible if you live in a large, suburban area. Snowblowers will blow the snow out of the way, allowing you to place it anywhere within a 10-foot radius. This will make sure the snow is in an easily manageable place.
Storage
Snow blades unbolt from the tractor and can be stored on a shelf during the summer. Snowblowers need about the same amount of storage area that a push mower requires.
Working Pieces
Snowblowers have all the working pieces of a machine. They have pulleys and gears and a motor that needs maintenance. A snow blade has a couple of nuts and bolts that connect to a bracket on the tractor. The only other piece of a snow blade is the handle that runs alongside the tractor steering wheel.
