Front Snowblower on 4720

[jgrreed]

Don't necessarily blame that on JD. Canadian customs are a *****!

WRONG!! Well, sort of..... Canada Customs are miserable, but there is little added cost. One must pay GST on all products imported (5%) and a 6.1% duty on goods not made in North America.

Cinder is right, it's predatory pricing, and they should be ashamed of themselves. Ford, GM, Dodge, Bombardier, Svfara, Mastercraft, Bayliner.....etc, etc, etc are no better.

When the Canadian dollar is good, and the Canadian dealers whine about no one 'buying local', just remember what they do to the consumer when the dollar is at 0.70USD. I have no pity whatsoever.

Someone I'm sure will chime in here and tell us that it's not the dealers fault, as the mother companies dictate their prices. I don't care, as a group they're gouging.

Now, let's get this thread back to how to put a front snowblower on a 4x20!!!

That front blower is pretty nice. If one is looking at a 4720, what is another $13K???

I can see your point if you're looking at a brand new, cab model, for 50k!! 13K is over half of what I paid for my 4720. 13K is also a lot of other toys/attachments!

Is a snowblower available for a 4720? I can't find one. if there is one, how is it driven, how big is it, and most important does it work good. I need some help finding something pretty quick.

Get one from JD. They are built by Rad technoligies in Quebec, and are driven by a mid - PTO.

John Deere makes the SB2176 if you have $13K to spend on it.

DO NOT buy that one. You can get the framwe mounted blower (RAD) for way less.
