Default Ride-on Mower w/Snowblower

Hi,

I'm just starting to take a peek around at ride-on mowers that have
snowblower attachments. Any recommendations out there?

My driveway is 300 feet long, gravel and is sloped. I had an ATV with a
blade and I know it often needed to be in 4WD to plow the driveway...so
I can't see a 2WD mower being able to do it. Is 4WD standard on all
ride-ons or just the high end ones? I've seen Kubota list 4wd on some of
their machines but I can't find anything on the Toros.

Even with 4WD, are they good snowblowers or more trouble than they're
worth? Do they slide all over the place...not have the HP push up the
driveway??

Any experience, opinions appreciated. TIA

We have a 20HP Simplicity to use around our self storage on tightly
packed gravel. Usually however, the snow last few years has been so
light we've had the guy across the road in his pickup with blade just
do it for us. Had a Simplicity with a blower back in 60's that worked
just great in upstate NY snows. HTH
