Default Re: Which 60hp?

Agree R4 are tougher, I have a TLB with them. Mills and loggers here are mostly missing in action.

I have a non turbo 55 hp pto on a 7' blower a full load definitely turns the exhaust note throaty. Your new turbo will have a higher % torque rise but at 51 hp have less overall to play with. Get a larger materials bucket for snow to speed clearing lesser snowfalls. I paid $200 for a rusty 8' junkpile special. $500 for an old ugly 7' blower.

A grapple bucket is invaluable just remember it is an ag loader - cheapest price point tool vs a buncher forwarder.

A box blade may work better than a blade if your road gets rutted. Keep it crowned for good drainage.
