656 Farmall, with tire chains, and an F-11 loader does the bulk of it around the yard. Someday, I think I'll get a heat houser for the darn thing, so I don't have to bundle up like a penguin so as not to freeze. Fortunately, most of our heavy snows come when it isn't bitterly cold.
Last year, I was at a sale, and bought an old Degelman dozer blade, that was mounted to a JD tractor, that caught fire, and burned up. Got it for about weigh-up iron price, put new hoses on it, rebuilt the cylinders, and home-made mounts to my big tractor (IH 5088). I got it all together and working, with no leaks, and I plan to use that for opening the long driveways. Anymore, it seems like we get the heaviest snows around the time we start calving, so I got that, as much for pushing lanes in the calving pasture, so the cows would have a clean place to calve, off the snow. If it helps save 2 calves, I'll be money ahead, for my total out of pocket expenses.
