This is the opposite experience I have on the plains of southern Minnesota. Those with a blade & loader have 6-10 foot banks on the sides of their driveway by mid-winter that blow solid full of drifts in any little breeze. Those with good strong tractor snow blowers blow the snow 20 plus feet away, and the banks only get 2 feet or so high along the driveways. Less drifting, less snow, less work all year long. You aim the spout _with_ the wind, and it blows away. If you must blow into the wind, you angle the tip of the spout downward. And start with a good strong 2-stage blower that can move the snow to begin with. No one, and I mean no one around here, would trade a tractor snow blower for a blade & loader! Snow blowers take some heavy abuse, and you are lucky if you buy one strong & tough & well built. We have the best luck with a snow blower that is strong & tough enough to stall out the engine, rather than weak & whimpy & busts _all_ the time. I do not mean the blower should be too big! You want it sized right for your tractor hp. But in that size, you want it built big & heavy & tough. --->Paul

In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
