Kutupembe: Both snow blowers and blades have their place, however I don't think you will get in for much under $5,000. I say this looking at the distance you propose clearing. Snow blades work well in areas where temps hover close to the freezing mark. You push wet snow back well from driveway and it will freeze and stay put. When you encounter lots of snow and temps below 20F, snow will remain quite dry and move around at the slightest wind, nothing is easy. Heavy winds can blow it back as fast as you clear it. If you don't have lots of good level space to push snow away on either side, blower is the only option. There is one other option, build roadway up so it is about 2 to 3 feet above soil, trees and hedges on either side. Then plant a good hedge about 60' from center of roadway on the side from which your prevailing winds come. You may then be able to blade snow with a tractor within your proposed budget.
