That is a good tractor. Did not know it was available with a cab. Work within its limitations and u will do fine. I have a New Holland 1520 4wd with a loader that I love. It has 35hp. I bought it a couple years ago from an estate with 22 hours.
Ford and New Holland tractors are the best. Henry’s tractors saved many people from starvation. The whole English country during and after WW1.

Its not very big. ......I feel like your truck and plow has more capability to move snow quicker. This was my first thought. The baby Ford I used in construction was an older model, so maybe not the same results,, but small tractors seem to be as slow as doing it by hand (not that slow of course, but ..) every bite is small and it takes a lot of small bites to add up. Same whether Ford JD or Kubota; they work if you have a small job or lots of time.

I have 2 JD 4020s and really like them. I have never felt like they were too big. If I wanted to move snow, I would but I just drive over it.......10k would get near one of those as well. If I lived north and had to move snow I would want no less than a 60hp tractor. Just me
