Looking for some real life experience from anyone who has a 25-30 hp tractor and backblade. I know a 6ft is probably the wisest size for me to get but I'm leaning to a 7ft because 90% of the use is going to be snow removal. Obviously the extra foot means I get done sooner. (I may like tractors but with NO cab my enthusiasm drops propotionately with the tempeture!) My dealer is strongly pushing the 6ft. I'm thinking with the blade angled sharply I probably get an effective cross section of about 5 1/2 feet. I use a 5ft box blade with no trouble so I figure that's equivalent to the 7footer when angled. Does this logic fly?? Does anyone out there use a 7footer with this size tractor? Although I WANT the 7, I'll defer to the collective "wisdom of the board".
