10’ snow pusher

[leonz]

If you are intent on pushing that much snow and if you end up with
huge ocean fed dumps of the white mold, a rear mounted 8 foot
Pronovost TRC 2 stage snow blower with the rotating impeller drum
to discharge heavy wet snows left or right avoiding the chute and spout.

Short of that a pronovost PXPL 8 foot snow blower or an TRC 2 stage with
some used iron like a Massey Ferguson 175, 185 or 1100 would work
as the gear drive shuttle shift will not lose power.

What's going on is that 80-120 H.P. tractors are too small for large farm operations and too big for the average small acreage/home owner type.

I would agree with that, my 60hp is ''too small'' for some of my application but perfect for my trails maintenance and bush work so if I would get a 80 to 100hp tractor I would have to keep my 60hp tractor or get a smaller one since it would be too big and heavy for my bush work.

Actually, I think what’s going on here is the OP is asking about 10’ snow pushers/plows, right?
So isn’t it practical to suggest the right tractor with the right HP and weight that can handle a plow that size behind it?

A 35HP compact sure as heck isn’t going to work…

And the 110 HP tractor I suggested would be just right, and quite a bit cheaper, and more capable.

I have pushed snow with my 200HP Massey and a 10’ plow and I can tell you that if the snow is deep or heavy, 100HP is about what he would want.

I used to think that way, too.
I had a 70HP Kubota M-7040.

Then I went to a 125HP Kubota M-126X.

The M-126X is about a foot taller and a foot wider, but after about 10 minutes I was so happy I made that decision. It did everything better. Even “bush work”.
The “big tractor” fear was gone, instantly

yeah a foot wider would be a problem as well as if it’s longer but i could always w my my trails wider and straighter … but my main concern would be weight i have a few soft spots and i hate ruts
