Jim: Patrick is talking Farmall 100, far cry from a Cub or a 16hp Deere garden tractor. These SA, 100, 130 or 140 will work with the big boys. I've had a 6', front mounted angle blade for 16 years now, and the biggest problem has been building the push frame solid enough to withstand what my 130 can dish out. I've had 15 yard truck loads of topsoil dumped in one pile and 130 will spread that in less that 1/2 hour. I use a rear mounted S tine cultivator for weight giving more traction, plus I can rip hard packed soil with that cultivator. If I had it scanned I could show you a photo of my 130 with blade full of topsoil, to the point it's falling over top of blade, and still pushing foreward.

Plain and simple you are in a different ball park. I will post a photo in tractor photo gallery, the pile of snow behind 130 was piled by the 130. When I started that morning, snow in yard was min 2' and up to 4'. My driveway is 400', yard I plow is roughly 60'x40'. That particular morning it took about 90 minutes to clear the entire area. My biggest problem pushing snow, is pushing so far snow falls behind blade, so much so that sometimes I can't back away. I have to watch that one.
