Why are you doing this?

non-answer noted.

The reason I'd have to do that is to clear a spot for the dogs to
****/crap.
Most likely pile the snow near a tree. In fact I did just that but
not with a snow blower.
Still not enough room for the dogs, but I got tired.
I'll be piling more snow around that tree soon.
You clear 2 feet of snow from 4' x 8' foot area, you get 4 feet of
snow on a different 4' x 8' area.
Easy to bury a tree trunk.
I don't worry about the tree. They get buried by snow all the time
and come out fine.
