I have a 1+ acre property with a small driveway and I bought a Craftsman lawn mower and also bought the snowblower attachment for it. I was sick of using the walk behind snowblower. We’ll see how it works this winter but it will be 100% better than the walk behind I had.

I just caution you to get out there often during the active snowfall, because I tried this and it was useless if there was more than a few inches on the ground (even with the super heavy suitcase weights on the back and tire chains on the rear wheels of the tractor).

Ended up putting a Fisher plow on my Tacoma, but the investment was much bigger to get that setup, unfortunately. But my driveway is about 500’ long, so it was an eventuality I guess.

My driveway is at best 20’ deep and 30’ wide, all gravel, with the skids adjusted accordingly. I also bought everything used and tuned it up myself so the investment I have into it is minimal compared to a plow setup. Future plans is a 3/4 ton with an 8’ plow, but for now it’ll do. The impeller has/will be modified to throw snow much easier and farther as well. I’ve done it to my other snowblowers in the past with 100% fantastic results. Considerably less clogging, and snow gets blown much farther.
