I have an L-250 (the older gas version of the LS125) and I love it. Around the house or in a barn, it's great. Way better than a shovel and wheelbarrow. Just keep in mind, it's only 18 horsepower and 2000 lbs. For big rocks, not a good plan. I built a quicktatch plate with an old 6' Jeep snowplow I had, and it works great up to 4-5" of snow. Any more and I would have to straight blade it instead of rolling on a angle. A blower might be a bit much, as that little pump doesn't put out too much flow. Make sure the machine you are looking at has auxilliary hydraulics (mine doesn't- wish it did). An auger might be a waste, as the machine doesn't weigh enough to put much downpressure on the bit. Also, the quicktatch plate is smaller than a standard Bobtach plate, so universal attachments are not an option. For what you want to do, I would say go to a bigger machine, unless the price is really right.
