You Betcha!
Here's a pic of my 850 and 36 inch dozer blade with a 60 inch snow blade modded to fit on it. I was running a 42 inch blade on the front of the dozer blade last year and felt it was too narrow. Maybe 60 inches is too wide...? I want to find another set of 5-12 tires and dual it up if I can't push.
If there's too much snow, I'll switch over to my new-to-me 605 with a 28 inch snowblower. I used the snowblower on my 730 last year with great results. The 605 has a couple advantages over the 730. First, it's spline drive, like the snowblower, so no adapter needed. Second, differential and brakes. I had free-wheel devices on the 730, so it was every bit as maneuverable as the 605, but the free-wheel devices have some limitations I've discussed here before. Third, more speed options. This actually won't be an advantage in snowblowing. I'll be sticking with the same gears I used on the 730.
After this weekend, I'm hoping for snow!
