It depends on how much snow you get and how heavy the snow is. Around here usually Mother Nature does a pretty good job the next day.

QA42 on my 125. As you can see it works great.

like Carl said it depends on the snow. I use my blower on my 1450 and blade on my CCO. I use the 1450 most with the blower and clean up with the CCO. We will get 3'-4' drifts that a blade wont touch, but I can use the blower on it, and the clean it up.

I've only used my blade once in the 8 years I've had it, that was last year when we got that October snow storm

I was still in dirt mode with the 122, ags and no chains ( yeah, that worked well )

Here's my winter set up. Both have fluid filled tires and I just got a set of weights for the 122 ( thanks Lew

)

The October storm everyone 360 ddegrees around and 3-30 miles away got 2- 4 feet my house got 1 inch

we were lucky very strange storm....

The 102 has creeper gear, wheel weights and chains and of course the snow blower.

For me a blade is for fun and a thrower is for moving snow.

I use the blade on my 2544 with chains and does the job for me! snow blowers do a good job also!

I use the blade early season and late season when the snow is still heavy, Mid winter when the snow is deep and dry its snow blowin time

I have a concrete driveway and have to use a blade to finish cleaning off the snow. If I dont, the snow turns to ice over night and becomes VERY difficult to remove for some time.

Thats a great 1 - 2 punch, Jeff in PA. My 71 is set up with IH 42" blade. The 72 should have a QA42 blower. Yup, you need both!
