Snow removal dilemma. Seeking advice/opinions.
I'm a "young" senior that would rather avoid heavy lifting/pushing. We have about 1,000' of driveway to clear.So far we've enjoyed the services of a neighbor and his heavy equipment. He's now retiring form the business so we have to come up with something ourselves.
We have a Cadet SLTX 1054 we use for mowing and I've read the manual for mounting a 190-032 blower.It looks like a nightmare as well as being a 2 man operation. I've toyed with the idea of a walk behind and the biggest,baddest thing I can find is in the $3,000 price range but for that length of a driveway , a walk behind wasn't recommended. Looked at Kubot etc. with hydraulics but by the time you price it out with attachments , less trade , they all come in at around $20,000.  Thinking of an LTX 1045 with blower,chains , weights etc. that priced out at about $3,500 as a dedicated snow removal unit so I don't have to keep mounting/un-mounting the blower/deck etc. etc. And it's only about $500 more than the walk behind.  (might even find a used unit on the lot to do the job)Question is , do you think that tractor arrangement would do the job. Opinions / suggestions appreciated.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
