Loader 1626 open or 2638 cab?

So I'm pretty much sold on the 2638 I just need one more test drive to seal the deal in my mind. After reading more threads on this tractor the reoccurring theme is the seat being too close to the pedals, so I'm gonna go Dubble check that before I commit.

The inverted snow blower deal is starting to look too iffy, especially with the price being 10K (Canadian) all said and done. Maybe if required PTO HP wasn't so close, I have 30 HP and it requires 25HP. I called the snowblower company and they said it "should" be fine. For 10K in NEED to hear "it will be amazing" my mahindra dealer isn't much better in their confidence on the combination.

So I like to hear your suggestions on a snow removal combinations I'm not totally against a rear facing snow blower. Maybe a front facing and a rear blade?

Yes i can concur that the new "M Comfort" Seats are really nice but for some reason they sit forward more than the previous generation. I'm 6'2" and its a bit snug... i'll figure something out soon.
The service manager told me the simple thing to do is drill new holes about 2" back approx. i probably would have got them to do it but i did everything over the phone since i had to Drive almost a 1000 km to get there....i have been there 2 years ago when i was test driving for the **** of it!
as far as pricing IMO in Canada, anything with a hydraulic motor or PTO blower that i inquired about is usually 8k-10k and yes i agree, it should be absolutely amazing for that price
the front mount Snowblower would be nice as you can get the MID pto on the 2638.
i ended up with a front mount SS snow blade by HLA. i first bought a 84" rear blade for my 3016 a few years back, works ok. pulling snow away from sidewalks or buildings is nice cuz u can easily see how close u are then use bucket or front blade to finish.
I'm sure you will be happy with the 2638 either way.
