I don't think you will find anything at all for that budget.
#1 Most tractormounted snow blowers mount on the rear of the tractor, 1/2 mile is a long way to go with your neck craned around.
#2 The tractor will require a live PTO to run a snowblower that means late '50's early '60's and your talking a minimum of $2000 just for the tractor.
# 3 Snowblowers require slow speeds so the tractor almost needs a creeper low gear less than 1 MPH
# 4 even if you did find a rig in that price range it would be so beat a good portion of your time would be spent chasing parts and repairing it.
IMHO you would be further ahead to find an old 4wd pickup with a blade.
