Val- I live in northern ontario, in the mountains just off lake superior and we a huge amount of snow here.

I bought a Kubota B7800 with rear blade a few years ago as my snow plowing guy couldn't do a good job around a new garage with his truck/plow combo. Last winter I had to buy a used 60" snowblower for the back 3PT hitch as I couldn't keep up with the snow just using the rear blade. I just sold that rear blade as I am going to buy a box blade for trail clearing and driveway leveling and other stuff

$13K is way to much for a 2910 without a FEL and over 2000 hours on it. I think it's worth $7500 max. I'd add a Woods 84 loader later and you have a sweet machine. For sure you need 4WD with a tractor and you will need chains on the back tires at least. I added front chains last winter and my tractor became a monster for snow clearing.

If you need to add the splitter you will need a valve kit which comes with the loader or add rear remotes which are not cheap-$1000 or so
