Pawel, I see your dilema somewhat different then the others. If I understand correctly you have a lightweight blade and limited money. I happen to like blades. They are relatively cheap, versatile, and easy to put on. First when you fix you blade try to reinforce it and not just weld it back together. There are many light blades out there and perhaps yours is just too light. But do your best to fix it. The good news is that (around here anyway) the market is steady, they all sell for about the same price. So you can probably fix yours , sell it and buy a better quality one for about the same money.
Now about plowing, try the blade with an angle as suggested in an earlier post. This allows you to get thru the snow without pushing it all. Try making some clearings part way thru the run, so as not to push the snow a great distance. You can also drive thru the snow forward with the blade down. This will clear part of the snow so that it is easier to "finish" plowing. Watch your speed. You have more HP than blade. Slower speed gives you more time to hit the clutch. Finally be aware of hidden objects or structures. Snagging the blade on something is the quickest way to break it.
I agree with the others that there are better ways to move snow. But blades have will work and they are cheap and available. Take time and learn to use yours. Good luck.
