I have a huge 90' Lucknow double auger with a fan expeller 3 point rear mount (Cat 2) with a huydraulic chute rotator and delivery angle adjustment that fits either of my Kubota's, though it can make either work real hard in deep drifts. I run an older Western 8 foot plow blade on a bobcat style quick hitch that fits on either loader so getting it done here, no matter how much it snows is a non issue.
The one thing I installed that makes life much easier with the rear mount blowers is the rear facing camera and monitor in the cab so I don't have to get a stiff neck looking backwards all the time. Candidly, I'd never own a rear mount blower with an open station tractor, just way too much hassle with blowing snow and chancing frostbite....
That was last year. I', fully retired now so the blower and the plow are next to the barn, the tractors are inside, one is put away for the winter, the other has a set of forks on for feeding rounds to the stock and thats it. No more snow removal for me. I'd rather sit in front of the fire and toast my feet Come spring I'm gonna sell 'em both... blower and plow.
