Snow pusher size affects the amount of snow removed and the type of precision you need. Long pushers can move more snow the first time, but can leave behind significant amount as you go higher. That's because they will always rest at the highest point on a surface.
What's better snow plow or snow blower?
Time - It can take much longer to clear a large area using a snow blower in comparison to a snow plow. Capacity - Smaller, single-stage snow blowers work extremely well with light and fluffy snow. Deeper snowfall requires investing in a more expensive machine like a two-stage or three-stage snow blower.19 Jan 2018
Is a snow pusher better than a bucket?
If you're set on steel edge, a bucket will do better on gravel or dirt. Pushers do just that: they push the material along, causing a pileup. When plowing over uneven terrain–for example, raised manhole covers or speed bumps–a steel trip edge is the way to go. This means you need a snow pusher with no rubber.

Is a snow pusher better than a snow plow?
In many or most cases, skid steer, backhoe or wheel loader operators with angle plows will majorly outperform snow pushers efficiency-wise. In many years of studying this market, we've found contractors often hold the misperception that snow pushers are more efficient because they push large “piles” of snow.15 Apr 2016
How big of a snow pusher should I get?
A wider pusher will be more difficult to maneuver in tight spaces. A 96” pusher will push longer and turn a lot easier than a 120” pusher. An 84” pusher may not clear snow quite as fast as a 120”, but it will be more effective in tight areas. A small-to-mid-sized skid steer will effectively handle an 84” or 96” pusher.
