ive plowed snow with a couple different garden tractors. a Bolens, a cub cadet, John Deere, Wheel horse and an old speedex. the bolens pushed the worst in my opinion because the plow attached to the front axle. so when you got a load on the blade, it would lift the front tires up not allowing you to steer. but the locking differential on the bolens was a great thing to have when really moving snow. overall it was an okay tractor to plow with. Cub Cadet is a good tractor to plow with since the blade is so heavy and overbuilt it really works well. i used to have a John Deere 140H1 with a snow plow that attached in front of the axle with quick attach points, but it was so heavy it didn't lift the front axle it just pushed. i loved it. shouldnt have sold it. wheel horse plows are the best because of the rear axle mount...only thing i don't like is they don't lift very high and you lose all your clearance underneath the tractor. just my opinion.
