I'll have to disagree with most posters here. I have a 3720 with the front mount 59 snowblower and use it on a 2600' curved driveway through a forested area.
Couple issues;
1. blower should be a foot wider for the 3720, at least with my snow conditions it would handle it and would be wider than the rear wheels.
2. blower need some sort of shear bolt to protect the impeller. If you're lucky you won't hit anything and cause expensive damage but you shouldn't need to rely on luck with something that costs this much. Check out the links below for some people who've had these issues and some pics of the broken parts (forgot to take pics of mine on the 2 occasions I've broken the impeller mounting universal).

That said I love being able to drive forward while blowing snow, wouldn't give that up (at least for my driveway). Rather than spending that much money for this blower I would evaluate all other front mount blowers the pull type blowers. I know the pull type wouldn't work well for all snow conditions but in my area I'm thinking that's what I should have gone with and leave the loader on over winter.
