Hiya,
I have a chance to pick up either a 54 or 64" Puma rear PTO blower at a reasonable price for mid winter. I was going to wait till the springtime to get a better deal on either a Deere front mount or a rear PTO but with all the snow we have had I've run out of places to put it and with the sub-0 degree snap we had this week, all my piles O'snow are now icebergs and refuse to budge.
Puma lists the 54 for 16-25HP and the 64 for 18-25. The dealer is suggesting the 54 but I feel the extra width of the 64 may be better because of the extra tire clearance. The fan is the same diameter on both so I don't see a major issue with the extra width if I go a tad slower in the heavy stuff.
If you have either on a 2520 please let me know what you have and how it works in the real world.
After thought: The primary use of the blower will be a 500 foot winding paved sloped driveway, the loader plow will be the primary snow weapon for the gravel road around back.
Thanks,
Tom
