I have been plowing my driveway for the past 2 winters with the fel and a 5' rear blade on a B7800. It is taking me way too long with this setup. My driveway is dirt/gravel and about 600' long, steep in spots. I'm frustrated that I scrape up so much of the driveway until it freezes. We had an 18" snowfall on Monday and I spent 7 hours yesterday trying to get it clean without destroying the driveway itself.
I'm considering a B2782 snowblower.
I have several questions for this great forum:
1) How critical is the hydraulic chute deflector?
2) Is the chute rotator also available hydraulically or do you all just use the manual crank?
3) Does anyone have any photos of the process to remove the fel and install the blower?
4) How long does it take to remove the fel and install the blower? Is it a pretty straightforward process?
5) What should I expect to pay for this setup?
I almost went out yesterday and upgraded the B7800 for a heavier machine but I really like the size/maneuverablity of the my tractor.
I have had a hard time finding a source for the snowblower and the hydraulic chute accessories. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
