I just purchased my first tractor, a new B7800 with R4 tires, FEL and RMM. My purpose for the Kubota is to maintain my 10 acre property (no farming). I have used it for 5 months to mow the 4+ acres of lawn. It is a little heavy but if you are careful it does a darn good job.
My next purpose is to clear my driveway. It is about 600 feet and cost me $1000 / year to have it cleared by a contractor last year. I did the math and said a Kuobta was a better investment.
I now need to purchase a rear blower to do the driveway. We get a lot of snow up here in New Brunswick, Canada. We can get storms that drop 24" in a few hours. I think it will get lots of use as a snow blower.
What are your suggestions? Should I buy new or used? What brand and size should I look for and what price is reasonable (Canada and US dollar are almost equal in value these days when you factor in the tax)? Is there anythin in particular that I should look for that may not be obvious to a newbe?
Thanks in advance for the help.
