I agree with JeepHammer -- it depends on where you live and how much snow.
I have use of a pickup with a plow -- but I have to go get it. If the snow is under 3" I'll just use my JD 4310 with the bucket. Anything over that and I'll go get the truck.
I used to use my old '49 JD "M" with a snow blade (manual angle and cable lift), but even with tire chains it would get stuck far too often.
But the newer JD w/bucket comes in handy later in the year when I have to move the piles to make room for fresh snow!
