How about? A knot on the rope layed on the hub, once round the root of a blade then about four turns round the hub (trapping the knotted end). The other end of the rope wrapped round the snowploughs winch and off you go like starting a small outboard.
For your personal safety get some other fool to operate the winch.
DO.
