My driveway is similar to yours in length and slope.
It was excavated into the hill in 1972 when the house was built. Today the maximum grade of a legal driveway is 8 degrees.

So, after living there for almost ten years and going through four plow guys I bought a Massey Ferguson 4WD Cab tractor.

This place was built in '50, and I'm sure it looked real sweet to 'em in their 30s .. ha!

Your setup sounds nice, esp. the cab part when the wind's 300 mph  :-)
I have an old Deere 318 with a blade and chains so am able to pretty much manage (so far).

Later this year I'll be beating the bushes to find some guy/kids to do it for me while this aging fella watches from the window !
