What a tiny little Toro? If Rover guys wanted that we wouldn't be driving Rovers! What you need is a V8 snowblower!

So what if it has a bigger engine than your truck--it has hand warmers--and you will not get stuck!

Hi lock is hi gear but both driveshafts locked together.
Lo locked is lo gear with both driveshafts locked together.
Neither puts any more strain on the truck than any other.
Lo gear is crawler gear, top speed is 45mph and that is at 6,000 rpm.
Lo gear is perfect for climbing steep snow covered driveways, but try hi locked first, then shift to low if needed.

Maybe if you started shoveling you wouldn't be too fat to fit out of the sunroof 
If you need tires, I'd suggest General AT/2.
Its on thing to have Land Rover winter ability, but if that ability cannot be delivered to the ground through competent tires, its somewhat useless.

Some of us are happily plump or well rounded. I can't speak for everyone, but I am highly allergic to shovels. If that were my driveway I would just have a new circuit added to the geothermal and never have snow on the drive.

Like Spike I can lift. I can also workout, swim and golf but with 2 herniated disks (that's medical BTW, nothing to do with LR brakes 
there is something about the action in shovelling that would put me flat on my back for a few days. Funny but it's the same with housework!

Like Spike, I met with a car accident, but at age 27 at 60 mph into the end of a guard rail t-bone style. Lucky to be alive. The lifting is not so bad, if I do it right, but raking. shoveling, and sweeping, well that is a killer. That angle of bending puts pain in the lower back pretty much instantly and out for the next day a least. Not enough snow here in SW Virginia in recent years to justify a snow blower, that is why I got the Rover.
I run Michelin LTX M/S in factory size and they are quite on the highway and have worked for me in modest snow on my previous jeeps and pickups, and on the D2 now. Hoping for some real snow this year to try them out, or I may have to make winter road trip a bit north.
