Most likely, I won't end up getting a tiller. My garden is small, and I have an old, but decent TroyBilt rear tine unit. I would be using the tractor for mowing a small yard, and maybe pushing a little snow with a blade, about 2 parking spaces on a city street.

I currently use a push mower and a snow shovel, but due to some back problems I'm considering a tractor so that I won't have to pay someone to cut my grass next year if I have back surgery.

Hypothetically, would a 12 HP manual shift tractor push average amounts of snow in first gear, not creeper gear, just regular first?

Josh no need for a creeper gear for pushing snow just using a thrower or tiller.
