I had a 6 1/2' JD blower on a 4010 gas tractor. We'd sometimes get 12", but not as wet as the nasty in your pic. The 4010 and blower both just struggled all the time and left less than ideal results, all while sucking down loads of fuel.
I finally got a plow truck and Western plow and will never go back to a blower! Then again, the truck and plow I use would be fairly useless in that thick, sticky mess.
What tractors do you have in mind for use? All 2wd or are any FWA? Do you have a strong front end loader? Could always mount a fully hydraulic plow on loader arms. Allows you to pile the snow high, roll it to either side, push straight ahead, etc. I like a blade cause it gets down to grass better than a blower. That means better traction for me.
A lot also depends on the size/shape of area you need cleared. Will a blower blow snow out of the way first pass? If not, plan on even harder going when you get to that snow each successive time.
I have a neighbor that stopped using blowers. Every time he had one, he'd suck up frozen cow pies or hit a gopher mound and cause damage to the blower.

I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible. I tried to use an easy out but it wasn't budging and I didn't want t
