have a 4300 w/ 420 loader. have found a 59" blower, cpl yrs old, still on the pallet (never used)...listed for $2500. reduced by $1000 from last wk when i 1st saw it. includes all mounting parts as far as i can tell.
i've read thru alot of threads here...some say it's an easy 15 min job to go from blower to loader...some say it's a difficult 5 min job...and lots of other opinions in between. so how easy is it to make the swap? i would like the front blower...but a rear 3pt would be nice to be able to keep the loader on (and cheaper).
i use a 48" blower on my large wheelhorse garden tractor now, and i haven't really needed a loader to help move the snow, so i think i might be ok w/ just the front blower, but who knows what else i might want the loader for.
pretty sure $2500 is a pretty good deal on that blower, but also don't really want to spend that much when a rear mount can be had for around $1000. if the thing gets down to $1500, i'm all over it either way!
