I swung by the Kubota dealership yesterday to pick up some hydraulic fluid, and they had a nice cabbed M7060 out front with an 82" Normand inverted blower. It sure looked like a nice setup! I was talking to the salesman asking about the tractor/blower combo and if he knew of many commercial guys using them. He said that one local company who has 5 tractor/blowers and uses them in condo associations, did a time comparison between the tractor, and two skid steers with blowers. The tractor/blower did the same amount of work as TWO skid steer blowers (as well as two operators of course) in the same amount of time, basically twice as efficient and only one operator.
The salesman was telling me that a different company switched from M7040's to L6060's because they wanted the HST, he also mentioned the L6060 was about as small as you could go hp wise and still be very efficient in larger storms.
These inverted blowers really fascinate me!
