Good for you! When we had our worst blizzard in at least 50 years in February BOTH tractors were basically helpless. (IH1066 and Ford 5000 row crop.)
I had drifts in my driveway that the tractors couldn't go through even with the blades up. Each has it's own blade, so tried with the Ford first.
Anyhow, the Ford has a differential lock. Knew better than to even try with the helpless in snow 1066. Has a loader spear set up for hay, no bucket.
You can move an incredible amount of snow with a power angle blade. Snow was over a foot deeper than the plow, but taking small bites R/L/R/L, was able to get the first pass made.

Just watch your temperature gauge if you end up moving stuff this deep. It goes over the the plow and plugs the radiator with snow. DOUG
