Most lawn tractors lack the front PTO, blade lift hydraulics and heavy frame needed to operate and drive a large snowblower. Without hydraulics you must manually lift the blade or thrower using a lever. Without a PTO you cannot drive the reels. A heavy duty tractor with 4WD and equipped with tire chains is usually best for traction and manuvering. See Kubota or Honda starting at $8000 to $10,000.
Bottom line is, you don't have enough horsepower, weight or drive accessories to move a 42 inch snowthrower. If you have a 4WD SUV or truck, a snow blade is a good buy. Was this post helpful? Yes: or No:
