Gramps: If you can keep the drivway scraped quite bare, and not get build up of hard packed snow, which turnes to ice on a mild or rainy day, plowing without chains is quite easy. If you live in an area where snow pack builds on you regardless, then you will need chains. I plow my snow with a Farmall 130 with front mount angle blade. I find the biggest item that gets me in trouble is pushing too far into the snow mass, then I can't back away without chains. One item I find that helps a lot is to get the snow plowed off before vehicles start driving through it.

I once had a neighbor always wanted me to plow his driveway. He could never understand why his driveway was so hard to plow compared to mine. I told him if he acted his age and sat by the fireside until snow was over, it would make a difference. He was 65 years of age and I swear the minute it started snowing he started driving. It wasn't uncommon for him to make 20 trips in and out his drivway during the storm. I used to tell him that was the reason the road department needed a 20 ton machine and I could plow with SA. If the road department could just convince people to stay home during storm, they wouldn't need half the equipment.
