Hi,
I'm wondering if anybody is using a front mounted snow blower (e.g. Erskine) on their Kioti. I presently have a Kubota BX23 with a Kubota blower and although it's the cat's meow for many applications, I'm thinking about something heavier for clearing the roads in our whole subdivision. The Kioti 45s is very interesting as are other Kioti and Kubota models, but one big plus for any machine is knowing how others have fared with their snowblowers. Kubota has a pretty-much turnkey solution while that doesn't appear to be the case for Kioti. That's not a big issue with me, but it does bring-up the topic of availability of front-mount throwers for the Kioti.
FWIW, Erskine does have a rear-mounted snow thrower that you use while driving forward. The only issue there is that the tires of the tractor mash down some of the snow prior to the blower getting to it. I don't know if that's a big issue or not.
Thanks in advance for any input!
