I grew up in the middle of Wisconsin and later lived outside of Duluth MN for about 6 yrs.

Get some 2x6's or thereabouts, and make a barn door looking thing a few inches wider than your tractor's rear wheel outside track. Make it about 4 feet high.

Bolt a surplus grader blade at the bottom of this thing. Bolt a 3 pt hitch drawbar and appropriate top link hitch point to the middle of the structure. Attach stablizer bars to your lift arms, put chains on your rear tires and hook up to this thing.

You have to push deep snow in reverse, but the Massey should have a low range reverse. Shallow snow can be plowed driving forward.

This kind of device worked just fine to keep our driveways cleared out in both locations. The smaller "store bought" rear mounted steel blades don't cope with deep snow terribly well.

My uncle used one of these with a Ferguson To-30, my granddad with his 9N and I used one with a MH50. Worked for us.
