Rather than messing around with mixing fuels, just add a good conditioner that does at least these three things (1) reduce gel point; (2) disperses water; and (3) stabilizes the fuel. I use Stanadyne Performance Formula - you'll likely need to go to an injector shop or heavy equipment truck dealer to find it. other brands are sold in auto parts stores.

Pulling foward works as long as the snow isn't too deep. In deeper snow you need to push backward so you can get better traction and the snow doesn't pile up under the tractor. How deep depends on the size of the tractor. When pushing backward it helps to use the back side of the blade, so it doesn't tend to dig in. Skids or wheels also help. Small tractors are limited in how much you can side cast by angling the blade because the snow will push the tractor sideways. In a heavy snow I will typically open things up by pushing the snow back to the sides, then clean up pulling foward and side casting.<br>BTW when pulling foward, the lower arms are in tension, but the top link is in compression. Pushing backward the lower arms are in compression and the top link is in tension.
