Is it power angle or manual? Does it use the onboard hydraulics or an electric motor. Some use a electro-hydraulic setup and others are simply electric lift. They tend to work good as long as you can push it back far enough so you have room for the next storm. The unit itself with a plow is not heavy enough for serious snowbank busting without adding some weight in the back. There are quite a few threads about it on the forum Brian and I linked you to.

Jim, not sure how much or how deep your snow gets in NE Ohio. If you get lake effect snow then I suspect you may want a snow blower instead of a snow blade. Blades work well up to a point. If a blade is 12" tall then the best results will come from pushing snow no deeper than 6". If a blade is 24" tall then, using the same theory, the best result will come from pushing snow no deeper than 12" but there are other issues to consider like the weight of 12" of snow and the traction of the vehicle pushing the snow as well as the distance it needs to be pushed.

I use both a blower and a blade on a small diesel tractor. Blower is better in some conditions, blade better for others.

There is a thread about it somewhere on the Forums (try the tractor or country living areas)
