Chachi, lawn tractors do not work well on snow. I have 18 HP tractor with chains on the wheels and still have a problem getting the plane in the hangar with snow and ice on the ground.
If one does not want to invest in a motorized tow bar, which can still be somewhat of a hassle to use on snow, I suggest an electric winch be installed and fixed in the hangar with a long enough cable and control line so that it will drag the plane into the hanger. Simply attach a second cable to the main landing gear. The second cable should have a wide hook type clamp on each end to put on each leg of the main langing gear. The drag cable will hook on to the second cable so as to have a single drag line. I've seen it done and works rather well. Of course, you need a tow bar to steer the plane into place.
