Hi
Yes, I know it's spring and the snow is gone for at least 6 months but I started negotiations for a new 3520 today so I need to find out about some stuff.
I know the 59" blower has a rep for being a super reliable setup for the 790's, 3120's and 3320's but I'm wondering how people with the 3520 and 3720 turbo models find it holds up to the added HP and torque. One of the reviews on this site noted that the added HP of the turbo models pretty much destroyed the fan housing in heavy wet snow as the tractor with the turbo didn't bog down and it overloaded the unit until the housing gave out.
I have looked at the Kubota front blower on the Grand L series and it's built like a tank, I have no doubt that it will handle the 60HP of the biggest Grand L turbo for many years, I don't get that same warm and fuzzy feeling with the 59" Deere front blower when I think about it in front of a 3520 or 3720. Hopefully you can put my concerns to rest as I prefer to own a Deere.

I live in NH snow country on the side of a mountain i get a ton of snow so I have to make sure this is going to work well for a long time.
