OK, I don't really want a snowblower, but I'm convinced that it's what I need. My area gets 200-240" of snow (very light, powdery snow) annually, starting around November 1 and continuing into April. I have a Kioti DK5010 tractor with 50 engine hp and 45 PTO hp, and a 3pt hitch rated to lift 2700lbs. (DK51 HST Utility Tractor | Kioti Tractors)
I am looking at buying a Woodmaxx snowblower, either 72" or 84", and want to know which one I should get. Based on their specifications the 84" is $100 more, 75lbs heavier, and otherwise the same. Both models say 25-65 pto hp required. It seems like my tractor could handle the 84" in terms of weight and PTO hp. Is there any reason I should get the 72" instead?
