I used to push snow with the blade on my Jeep. But like Freddie says " I gets piles" and once it's piled it gets as hard as a rock. A couple of years ago I started using a garden tractor with a blower and the yard is much less of a mess in the spring. I can get into the garden almost a month sooner because there a no snow banks there anymore. I've used a tractor and loader, Jeep and snow plow, but my vote goes to the blower.

I plowed with my tractor 3 years ago before I took it apart. It worked well, but the piles of garbage it left behind wasn't desirable.
I plow in the winter (when able to sneak away from my pencil pushing job - I'm an accountant) commerically for a friend - 40 accounts +/-. We have 3 pickups, an aluminum body dump, a Kubota with a 8' snow box, and a skid steer with a 6' snow box. We have the power to move any possible amount of snow. But like Freddie and Chris said, the plows - of any size - leave behind a huge mess. Not to mention the busted up curbs.
Hopefully will be going with a 3212H and blower this weekend.
