Specing out a new tractor either 1025r or 2025r and trying to decide between a blower and a push box. I live in upstate NY and get about 140 of snow a year.
Blower vs push box has a lot to do with your property. I’m on the side of a hill and have places to lose a lot of snow with my blade....just push it off the edge- this is the same reason I’d take my blade over a push box. If you don’t have the room and or are in some type tight spot then a blower makes more sense. The blower is more expensive to buy and maintain and in general slower. However, if you need a blower, you need a blower....and not much else will work.
I have a 400’ paved driveway with a large parking area by my garage. I’ve been plowing with my four wheeler for the past two winters and push the banks way back and always start to run out of room during the big March storms. Leaning towards a blower to clear the snow that falls of the garage roof leaving banks so high that it holds the snow on the roof when they get built up. Kind of like the idea of a rear blower for big snow and a push box for regular snow falls.
