I use a 75" three point blower on my 500' driveway (with 90° curve and hill) and turn-around. I have a '56 Ford 860 w/ live hydraulics and PTO. I can do a quick job (i.e. good enough to get out and back in) in 15-20 minutes if there is less than 8" of new snow. A more thorough job, or more snow, takes longer. I have two main issues with it: 1. The headlights aren't much help backing up in the dark, and it is sometimes hard to see the marker stakes in the rear (red) light. Better rear lighting and/or better markers may help. 2. I mostly blow down hill because that is the prevailing wind direction, and you will get buried if you p... uh blow into the wind. I couldn't imagine trying to move as much snow with a rear blade as I have with my blower since the last week in January. Earlier this season we only got a couple inches at a time.
