If your goal is to pile the snow high in one location, then plow or push attachments are more efficient than bucket attachments. Plow attachments are often mounted further away from the skid steer cab, offering better visibility of the plow edge. But the push attachment offers better containment.

Shovels are ideal for use on walkways and front steps, but if you regularly clear your entire driveway (and you don't like the idea of a snow blower), you'd be better off with a pusher or a sleigh. Pushers are best for lower accumulations and lighter snows, and sleighs can handle heavier snowfall or greater amounts.
