Ford makes them in four wheel drive now. Really, they come with a radio, heated seats, windows that roll up and down, cup holders, ash trays and a big place in the back to haul dead deer. lol. But seriously, sounds like your looking for a Polaris 4x4 with a plow. google it. they're great.

They are great for drying off muskrats and raccoons in a hurry lol. Bought one at a yard sale for $5 just for that purpose That's what I was going to say. I don't care about leaves, but I use them when tanning fur.
Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

Leaf blowers have many uses. Besides leaves I use mine to blow grass clippings of the driveway, clean the sidewalks, sweep the garage and blow the snow off the sidewalks and driveway when it is a light snow.
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

I bought a big stihl backpack blower, and it was one of the best things I have invested in! I have never blown a leaf with it, but I have piles of sidewalk here, and it is the slickest thing for clearing the snow. Up to 3 or 4 inches of powder snow is gone in no time! Friar.... which model ?? I have the BR700 I am amazed at how seldom I used the snowblower last year after getting the stihl. Not sure how to explain it, but if you have to move the snow twice, as in clearing a wide area, do the second blast right away, as it does get stickier once it gets blown. So try to blow it off to the side instead of walking it down the line, if that makes sense. If this thing died today, I would be getting another one tomorrow! If I were thinking of doing it on a ladder, I would consider the stihl that has electric start right on the handle. I would also get real used to the torque and twist from the nozzle before doing any ladder work.
