Anyone using a PTO snowblower on a 2520?

I have a 2520 with a 64" puma. Great combo in everything except wet snow. I've logged over 10 hours so far this year on the blower in every type of snow. 8-10" of powder is not a problem unless I get impatient and try to go too fast in HI-range. Wet snow requires patience if you need to throw it any distance. Thankfully the hydrostat makes it easier to control the feed rate.

The main advantage for me is that light snow falls are cleaned up faster with the 64" over a 54", and manouverability is better since the front tires won't cut into the unblown snow unless turning very sharp.

I have the JD front snowblower on my 2520 and I love it. It works great! Throws the snow 40'+. I keep my 5' box blade on the back to scrape down it the area has already been driven over or to scrape up the lesser snowfalls. I can quickly pull the snow to the end of the driveway and blow the pile into the yard with the snowblower. Personally, I wouldn't want to be looking back and blowing. Good Luck.
