Minnesota is gearing up for another blisteringly cold winter, and for homeowners with large driveways and outdoor areas, this can be a real challenge. You may be looking for alternative ways to clear snow, such as attaching a snow plow to a tractor. But can you even do that in the first place?
The answer is yes, but there are other snow removal options that may suit your needs even better. Minnesota Equipment offers a wide range of solutions, including snow blowers for tractors, blades and pushers, making snow removal efficient and straightforward.
Snow Removal Options for Tractors
Tractors are versatile machines. When it comes to snow removal, they can be equipped with various attachments for different conditions:
- Snow Blower for Tractor: This attachment is great for clearing deep snow, keeping your driveway accessible even after heavy snowfall
- Snow Blade: Snow blades allow precise control over snow direction, making it easy to clear wide areas
- Snow Pusher: Snow pushers are ideal for moving large amounts of snow quickly without the need for angling, making them a great choice for expansive properties
Minnesota Equipment carries a diverse selection of these attachments so you can find the right fit based on your needs.
Benefits of Using a Snow Blower for a Tractor
A compact tractor snow blower has many advantages:
- Deep Snow Handling: It excels at removing heavy snowfall, efficiently clearing your driveway and outdoor spaces
- Adjustable Heights: This feature helps protect gravel or uneven surfaces, preventing damage during snow removal
If you are dealing with a smaller driveway or lighter snowfall, a lawn tractor snow blower is highly recommended:
- Compact Design: Easy to maneuver, ideal for suburban areas and easily handles moderate snow
Minnesota Equipment carries both compact and lawn tractor snow blowers, catering to a variety of property sizes and snow conditions.
Snow Blades for Tractors: A Practical Alternative
If you want precise snow removal, the compact tractor snow blade is a fantastic choice:
- Side Pushing: Pushing snow to the side significantly reduces the need for re-clearing

A lawn tractor snow blade is perfect for smaller driveways and light snowfall:
- User-Friendly: Easy to operate and attach, ideal for quick and efficient clearing
Minnesota Equipment has a selection of tractor snow blades suitable for both compact and lawn tractors.
Compact Tractor Snow Pushers for Wide, Open Areas
If you have large, open areas to clear, consider the compact tractor snow pusher:
- Straight Ahead Clearing: This attachment pushes snow directly in front of you, effective for moderate to heavy snow
- Minimal Adjustment: Requires fewer adjustments, simplifying the snow removal process
