Ck20s hst and 5 foot snowblower

[capersimon]

Hello, I'm new to the tractor owning world so I'm learning as I go, so I can use some experienced voices here.

I needed a snowblower for the 3pt hitch on my ck20s hst. I waited till the end of the season and Got a deal on a used 5 foot blower that i believe is made by farming (any decals or plates have been worn off or paired over). It's a big solid unit it great shape. However I'm worried it might be too much for the amount of hp at my rear pto.

Any thoughts or experience?

I originally was thinking I wanted it to be wider than my wheelbase ( about 48inches) but may be i should have looked harder for a 48 or 51 inch blower.

Thanks for your help.
Also, it was a good deal. I live in Canada so buying new is crazy with the prices we pay here.

From what I have learned from other members, you want @4 pto horsepower/foot of attachment. I think the smaller one would have been better but with the hst, you can just move slower through the snow with the 5ft blower. Other members have CK20's and hopefully they'll post.
