[Ford-ferguson] TO-20 for snow plowing

[Jason Elias]

My dad uses a TEA20 with a blade, I think a 6'.  It wouldn't really work 
for the really big snowfalls we get here sometimes - for that there's the 
neighbour's big John Deere with snowblower - but most of the time it gets 
the job done very nicely with no weight or chains.
