Best Answer

Some larger wiper motors (from buses and such) are pretty powerful and can free themselves from some pretty harsh ice build-up, but Im not sure powerful enough to lift a plow repeatedly for a prolonged period. However, if your DIY enough to be thinking of this, perhaps incorporating a lever into the device to lessen lift and the hanging load on the motor maybe what you need, maybe even a locking "drop pin" type like on a car lift, so that once the plow is up there is no weight on the motor. Perhaps then the motor will be more than powerful enough to not only lift it, but lift it for years.

Are compact tractors as good as regular ones?

Yes compact tractors are strong enough to perform the job of a regular tractor. They are also small enough to fit into tight areas so they can be better equipped for certain jobs over regular tractors. Compact tractors lack the weight, torque and horsepower of full size tractors. For instance, when plowing deep snow a compact tractor simply won't be able to move the weight of the snow like a much larger tractor can.
