I have a 7 footer and an 800 with loaded rears and double ring chains. In significant snow it will just barely handle it. A 2n is going to be doing good with a 6 footer- maybe. The problem with a back blade is that tractor can't really push well going backwards and you can't pull more than a blade full and then you have to have someplace fresh to dump it each pass or every other pass at best. A back blade is okay for 4-6" but it's torture for much more. A front mount is worlds and worlds better, but you can buy a beat up plow truck for what that would cost you. Of course, you can often buy a beat up plow truck for what a new back blade costs too!
