Using a John Deere Snow Blade to clear your driveway of snow and ice is a very smart idea. It’s a lot quicker than doing it manually. There are a number of different snow blades to choose from if you are considering purchasing one from John Deere.

First up, before jumping out of your seat and purchasing the first snow plow or blade you see online, consider what your requirements are. If you have a smaller driveway and are quite young and able, then there might not be any need to splash out on buying an expensive John Deere snow blade. You might find that buying something much cheaper, like a small hand operated snow blade makes a lot more sense. However if your driveway is fairly large, then definitely consider getting a snow blade or even a John Deere snow blower.

If you have decided to get a snow blade, then before making any mistakes, make sure that the snow blade you get will fit onto your tractor or lawnmower. Obviously if you don’t have a John Deere tractor or lawnmower, check beforehand if the John Deere snow blade will fit onto your model.

John Deere snow blades currently range in size from 44 inches to 60 inches, but when you are buying one, you may find that you need to purchase more than just the snowblade. Attaching a John Deere snow blade to the front of your tractor or lawnmower is going to change the weight distribution on it, so in order to counteract this, you need to add weights to the back of the tractor or onto the tires. Keep this in mind when you are purchasing a snow blade.

For those of you who would get very heavy snow during the winter you should not consider buying a snow blade, as they can sometimes be a little ineffective in very deep snow. Instead you should consider buying a John Deere snow blower. These can handle very large depths of snow but more importantly, they disperse it, meaning that you are not just piling more and more snow on top of itself until you are left with piles of snow you are unable to move.
