I live in Evergreen Colorado at 8000 feet elevation.
This is my first posting as I have given up on my John Deere 2WD 125 with 46" plow suitcase weights and chains to clear my relatively steep blacktop driveway. Going up hill with ice the wheels spin and sparks fly.
I just purchased 2005 Kubota BX 1500 (4WD) with mower deck and FEL. It has 377 hours on it. I paid $6200 for it and will pay $696 for shipping
I plan to use the FEL to plow snow but would like to think about other options.
It seems to me that with the rear 3Pt and quick hitch you could attach a walk behind self powered snow blower to the tractor. Has anyone tried that?
Also could you use the rear PTO and the quickhitch to mount the blower part of the walk behind 2 stage snow blower to the tractor? I would find a snowblower with a bad engine and remove the engine. One challange here would be to connect the shaft of the snowblower to the PTO.
These options seem too simple to work but who knows.
Would appreciate any suggestions/comments.
This is a great website and really helped me with my BX 1500 purchase.
