 I use a black blade on my T0-20 with a Zane Thang. I have chains and I sometimes push the snow backing up, sometimes I angle it and pull forward. I have no trouble with traction and I have not been stuck yet, I can even plow going up hill. It does a good job of scraping off packed snow when pulling forward. On soft ground, backing up works better because it will not dig into my gravel driveway. If the ground is frozen, I can go either way. I usually set it right down but I can use the Zane Thang to hold the blade in a set position One limitation with my set up, I can't really handle more than a few (6) inches of snow and I can't get the snow up over the banks on my road as they build up. It is very useful for cleaning up an area, like in front of my garage. You can backup and pull the snow out, then push it off to the side. But I do need bigger equipment where I live (NW lower peninsula of Mich) where we get 150 inches a year and I have 1/3 mile to clear. So I also have military style WM300 Dodge Power Wagon with a Meyers plow, a Jeep with a plow and 4WD tractor with 5 foot blower. But the Fergie still does some things best!
