Re: Another Tractor, need advice
MacTractor,
I don't think you need to worry about PTO horsepower based on my experience with a 60" 3-pt snowblower on a manual JD 750 4x4 tractor. The blower was nothing special I bought used and had it many years before selling the tractor and all the implements. The JD only had 18 hp at the pto and had manual trans with only 2 reverse gears and it did everything I needed and more. It would toss snow a good 30 feet or so. It also had turf tires and chains were used when it snowed as some of the driveways were really steep.
