Good luck. I've done it with that exact combination, and it's not fun or particularly effective. Just a few feet of snow built up on the sides of the drive and you can no longer move the fresh snow. A 5' blade also isn't as wide as your tractor, so you're packing it down with the tires, and getting stalled. Reversing the blade keeps you from gouging the driveway as badly, but it only works if there's a few inches of snow down. Neither forward or reversed make the blade actually lift the snow, it's just shoved sideways a bit. If I had to do it all again, my preference would be first for a snow blower. If not that, at least a front mounted lifting type snow blade. Both of these get the snow up and over.
