Buying Advice Snowblower price

[lobsterman1]

Someone I know has a 5 year old 60 inch 3pt blower he`s willing to sell .
It only has about 5 hours on it but was stored outside and is starting to rust .
I want to use with my massey GC2400 .
He wants $800 for it . Would that be a fair price and what is the average prices on new ones ?

Thanks for any advice

What brand is it? If its well built that's a good price.

I don't know how wide your Massey is, but if the snowblower is not at least as wide as the tractor, it will turn into a pain. I've passed on several good deals that were too narrow for my tractor. Some have put some "wings" on to get the width they need...

Thanks hawheye08, my track width is 46.9 inch

Thats a steal. New they are several thousand. Id buy it. Snowblowers take a lot of power, thats why they are usually one size smaller than most implements, and therefore usually not much wider than the tractor.

Thanks Wolfy , do you think 60inch will be too much for 19 @ P.T.O. hp ?

My previous gear driven tractor only had 18hp at the PTO and it had no problems powering a 60" rear blower (JD 750). Used it for 8 years before upgrading to my current tractor.
