I'm in the process of moving from central ohio to cleveland (yes in the snow belt). As a result, I'm in the market for a good snow blower for my JD 2520.
For the cost, I'm a little hesitant to buy the JD front mount system since it does not even cover the width of the tractor.
From reading other posts, and doing a little research on my own, I've decided I definitely want to get a 3pt blower. To be honest, I think I like some of the Erskine pull models the best, but also like the more common push types.
Here's the question: I see a Lorenz 66" model on Ebay that seems lightly used and in pretty good shape. Any thoughts on whether this is too much snow blower for my JD2520? I believe I run exactly 20hp at the rear PTO. I was thinking I could either just take less than full passes with it, or would just move slower with it. At the end of the day, 20hp should be able to move about the same amount of snow regardless of whether it is hooked up to a 60" or 66" snow blower. Does anyone take issue w/ my thought process?
Thanks in advance,
Mike
