It works way better than my old garden tractor with chains or my old ford 9N with back blade.
With that said, we get a lot of drifting where I live and now I typically just use my newer JD compact 4wd tractor with a front end loader bucket up front and a blade on the back. It is not as fast as the quad after a fresh snowfall, but once the big drifts start happening the bucket is king.

fortunately I live on top of a hill and should be able to push the snow off the banks. I need to get to tractor supply and buy some T stakes to mark the point of no return before the next snow event. I imagine as noted above im going to have learn how to best manage the snow early in the season as to not paint myself into a corner and run out of room to "store" it. the plan is to get it as far as I can away from the road at the outset and keep with that approach.
im at 4000 feet and got two feet over the holiday, but a southern storm dumped like 6" of rain over the last couple days with temps in the high 40's all of it has melted so ill get a fresh slate next snow. it arrives this thursdee so I will take a couple photos of it being, and installed here this weekend. with the woodstove in the background all
lit up of course..

im a flat lander raw so ive got heated grips en route too. a couple of threads ive read on quad blade work suggests they are mandatory. ive got good snow clothes from snowmobiling the last couple winters with my buddy who has four of them. still learning my way up here for sure.
