Last September I purchased a used SB1154 to run behind my JD 2520. Last week we received at least 12" of damp snow. I couldn't be happier at the way the blower handled the snow. I opted to buy the smaller 54" model since I have a short driveway, and need to drive inside a trellis to get to the front walkway to clear a path.
The imatch setup works great allowing me to hook up the Frontier snow blower very quickly. With the imatch the only reason to get off of the tractor is to connect the drive shaft, and raise the parking stand. In my setup I decided to clear as much snow as possible with the blower then switch to a rear blade to pull the snow away from the garage doors, and switch back to the blower to clear that snow. I can't imagine not using the imatch. All my attachments are imatch compatible.
Here is a short video of me using the blower for the first time this year.

Small town happy to hear that you are happy with your snowblower. Went to watch the video but it is marked as private and can't be viewed.

Have you tried just using the FEL bucket to drag that snow back from the garage doors?

beenthere thanks that's a good option for me to try! :thumbsup: I'll give that a go it would speed things up even faster.
I'm in the experimenting stage trying to come up with the best "route" of what gets cleaned up first.

Hate it when the tractor is out of service hope they find the leak and get you back in the ready mode.

Switching implements sure would turn me off. Maybe it's just me......
