Here is my my old Farm King (Buhler). I think it is somewhere in the range of 20 years old but is a tank and the technology hasn't really changed. I found this one on CL 4 years ago and added the hydraulic chute rotator and deflectors. with the thickness of the metal on these things, I fully expect I could back into a tree and it would spit it out the top. :laughing:
lots including Kubota B's, L's, cat, etc.. over many years
I use a 60" Farm King (Buhler) on the back of a Kubota B2620 (19 pto hp) and it works flawlessly. Tractor has more than enough hp at 1/2 rpm to blow away all day. Even the 36" windrows left by the plows as many in my area live on a municipal roadway plowed by a grader/wing combo that drops all 16' of snow on our driveway approaches.
Only issue for me is the B2620 is a little small to manhandle the blower around sharp turns (like a 90 degree corner) when snow is deep. Tractor just doesn't have enough weight/traction with R4 tires w/o chains. So simply take a couple of cuts at those sharp angles and all is great.
