Yes, I ideally need to pile the snow higher because of limited space. I could buy a separate plow truck (a yard truck/junker) really cheap. It would be more comfortable than being outside on an open tractor. I could however use the tractor for other tasks. The rear of my property could become a lot more useful if I could excavate about 20 or 30 yards of junk out of it. So, I do have ulterior motives for wanting a small tractor loader.
It's too large to snowblow or shovel, and the city is awesome at pushing icebergs into the driveway, which are a bear to get rid of. Last year I was chipping these out with a hand shovel and doing the sidewalks manually, and eventually the snow service would come and do the lot. The main reason I don't want to hire a snow service is the amount of time they take to come. Sometimes we are not able to use the building for most of the day while we wait for them. Last year it wasn't so bad, because it was just my business in the building, but this year we will have 2 tenants, and they will be screaming if they can't get to work.
Sounds like if I can find a tractor w/a cab and live hydraulics I'd be a lot happier. And maybe I should consider just getting a plow. If I can't, I'll need:
- ideally, live hydraulics - loaded tires, or load them myself, and/or wheel weights - chains, or get chains - power steering would be awesome - 6 foot bucket or as wide as the tractor, because otherwise I'm driving over snow as I dig out.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
