It will be easier to help you if we know what you are trying to accomplish. Mostly, where do you live? Do you deal with we slushy snows that melt in a week, or cold fridgid tundra where the Thanksgiving snowstorm doesn't melt awat until April (that's me...)? Do you get a lot of wind, or are you in the trees & wind is no concern? How do you currently deal with snows?

The answer will depend on the above.

Generally a front blade puts the weight up front where your tractor _doesn't_ need it, and a rear blade is cheaper & does a simpler job and hangs the weight where it will help you the most - get stuck, lift blade, & off you drive. With a front blade you get stuck, lift the blade & the rear tires have even less traction so you go nowhere. But this is based on windy & long cold winer conditions where I live.

In either case a blade is a slow way to move snow, and will cause drifting problems & higher deep drifts the next time in cold windy locations. But it does work.
