I used to have a cub with a 54A front blade and I live in NC. I cleared one line of a .6 mile long road with maybe 3 inches on it using the cub and will never do it again. As it plows it only pushes snow off to the side just enough for the tractor to pass. The next pass you have to move that ridge over another few feet and that"s the problem. Now in fairness I think our snows are much wetter than some places and I did have hills to contend with but it was more work than I wanted. Frankly I could have driven through it so I"ve decided from now on I"ll just drive through it and if it"s too deep to drive through it"s a good excuse to stay home. Plus we get a lot of ice and it will not do anything with that.
I also owned a Super A briefly and sometimes I wish I still had it. It had a 3pt setup on the back with down pressure and worked real good with a pulverizer for finishing a yard--better than my dad"s Ford 601. It had separate independent lifts for the rear and mid attachments. They made a front/mid mount blade for it like the one I had for the cub that uses the mid lift. If I had that it would have been sweet. It had the weight and power to move more snow and I could have plowed with the front blade while having a rear blade on it for occasional use too.
