The Classic

Bonus: Ballast Box
While the ballast box isn’t necessarily a snow removal tool, it can help to improve traction and stability, boosting efficiency while clearing snow. For lighter-weight compact utility tractors, ballast boxes and tire chains can make a world of difference when it comes to working in slippery and icy conditions.
