Tractor Sizing 6' Meteor Forceking snow blower to big for my YM 276D?

[wesmann]

6' 3ph Meteor Force king model # SB75EC is available in my neighborhood for $1000. The machine has 25 hp at the pto. Is it to big? I'll run it on a gravel driveway and down a rough dirt road.
Thanks

I don't know anything about snow blowers but do know you have 23pto hp which is close to the requirements. Seems to me based on that you should be alright. Maybe have to take slower or smaller bites at times? :confused3:

Woops, I went to a vendors sight and they show 50 hp required on the SB75. What is the difference btween the SB75 and SB75EC?

Right you are. 50 hp recommended. I'll keep hunting. Thanks for the input.

The "smaller bite" or blow every 4" theory will work if it saves you some money. I would think that you would be able to get your money back or even make a little if it does not work out, esp. after a good deep snowfall in the middle of winter.:thumbsup:
