Mike, for sure when it comes to pushing snow, bigger is better. Even my 
100+ hp 2090 Case
will slide sideways with an angled blade when the snow gets deep enough. 
A few weeks back
I had to open the prairie trail into what used to be my uncles farm. It 
was a real workout for
the 2090 with the 8 foot blade and I kept thinking to myself, "how on 
earth did my uncle
ever open this trail with a little John Deere AR and 7 foot blade?"
