Hi everyone. I'm in need of a few opinions. I've been snow clearing with my 1993 GMC truck doing the same two parking lots now for 13 years. The lots are located right accross the street from me so there's no traveling time.
I also do my own driveway which is about 500 feet long so I've been thinking about retiring the truck and getting a new tractor.
I've been looking at a few differant ones starting with the Kioti DK45Cab series. The others are the Kubota L4240 Grand Cab and the L5740 Grand cab both with the LA854 loader and I can add my old snow plow blade to the unit and have a bucket with the blade.
With the truck I could do all my snow clearing in two hours and the truck didn't work had. When we get snow it's only a few inches at a time but when it piles up I need a tractor/loader to move it.
The question is will a 44 hp tractor be able to handle general snow clearing removable or should I move up to a 57 hp model? The tractor won't be working hard so I don't want to pay for HP's that I don't really need or use. Thanks for your time.
