Snow Equipment Owning/Operating Pictures of your snow weapons

Question for grs and the others. Will the pump circuit on a Kubota B26TLB with the factory disconnects for the backhoe, run a front snow blower on the loader arms? The tractor has a rear pto that I could use after I take the backhoe off. (Or leave it on for traction.) But the front blower is much nicer. The other option would be to use a rear pull behind blower. Which would be less expensive? Just wondering. I now use a BX2230 with a front blower and a cab, but with a 3/8 mile long drive and 4 passes to clear it, it takes a bit of time. Thanks, Jon

Need more hp than 25-30 hp.

Smaller tractors that have mid mount pto operate subframe front blowers ok, but I believe it’s a minimum of 40 hp for rear powerpack if I recall

Is there a minimum HP for a rear inverted blower? Jon

Meteor shows 25 hp for the 5' pull type snowblower.
MK Martin | Meteor Pull Type

Thinking my 7' front mount blade is a lot faster to clear off snow (I've no problem pushing snow to the side), no clean-up of snow when parking in shed, no moving parts, and smaller footprint to store for summer time.

But still looking at them...

You're right about the front blade. I used rear blades, two different front blades and a rear blower over the years.

There is no one perfect show removal implement. What I really want is:

• UTV with a 6' snow plow
• 25hp - 35hp CUT with a front mount snowblower
• 40hp - 60hp CUT with a loader and inverted snowblower
• 3/4 ton Pickup with snowplow
• Full size Articulated Loader with oversized bucket and front blade
• Pole building for all of the above

:thumbsup: You got that right, most people need several tools, not just one, to get the job done. I have 6' blade on a 6x6....

All of the above for $1.00. Don't you wish! Jon
