I wrote this a few weeks ago.....
Living just south of you in CT. I have a drive thats 150 feet by 100 feet at the top parking area (dirt) I have tried many of our tractors plowing snow, from a Cub Cadet, Allis B, Cub, Super C, and H. I useed the H for many years with a big heavy 7 1/2' fisher blade. I could do the plowing no matter what in like 15 mins if i pushed in. However you miss alot and do a far amount of damage to the lawn and what ever else is in the way. The Super C is i think the best tractor to plow with great traction and power. However this was still to big for most of the areas that i had to get into i have a lot of turns and bends. So now i use the cub, great on gas, and you can do real delicate work and not destroy your lawn etc. However like other peopel said you need weight on them i have a set of weights in the front and 2 sets in the back to give something like 550lbs of ballast, and a set of big 3/8" chian on her. It will plow anything that you put in front of it now . There great to plow snow with but need a fair amout of traction aid. Like anything there are pros and cons to them. For me i woould go back to using the larger taractor to plow whit unless i got a nice straight, flat, even drive way lol.

Yes a Super A, 100, 130, 140 would be great. I have an A but have never used that one plow with. But i agree with you there Super A is a fine machine to use. Still will need two sets of rear weights on it and chain. But the little larger blade and more horse are always nice to have :) P.S. I really do like plowing with an offset. the other side can be hard to see but just put a marker on it so ya know where the end is. But the visablity you gain the right side is great and you sure can get into alot of spots that you would only be able to to with a tractor of that nature. I would personaly go with a A Super A, 100, 130, 140 then a Cub is a strong second though they are more tractor than most peeople think they are. I once thought they were a toy, but after running one you find for what they are they have some get up and go to them. P.S. They all have there purpose and funciton and when used to what they were designed to they work awasome. but once and awhile you here people give the cub negative reviews when they say O' man i couldnt get though that 4 foot high grass with my finish mower on my cub lol haha.
