I used to plow snow with a Ford 9N - no live hydraulics and no position control. Scrape a blade full of snow into a pile. Hit the clutch, pull the transmission into neutral, engage the clutch to run the hydraulic pump to lift the blade, hit the clutch again, pull it into gear. Repeat. Endlessly. It was easier than shoveling, but not by much.
Moved up to a John Deere 420 with a gear transmission, and it did have live hydraulics. A lot better, but still a pain. My friend had a 420 Industrial with a direction reverser that he loaned me one winter. Much better, but my HST Kubota way better - power steering a front wheel assist.
