Snow Equipment Buying/Pricing front mount snowblower

[Rockgod]

In a lot of ways it's like my Deere hitch. The front arms even disconnect at the same spot. Because of this the loader can be attached with 90% of the hitch still left on the tractor. I also like how they use 2 hydraulic cylinders instead of one, very well built!

Nice set up. How long was the install time for hooking the system up? And when you switch from FEL to Zuidberg , approx how long to do that?

Me gravelman?

If so yes, the Deere units are pto driven. This unit comes from the mid pto and not the rear pto. From the mid pto there is a long driveshaft that goes to a front cage that houses two bearrings. It then, goes throught those two via another shaft and onto the blower. There are controls (a lever) inside the cab that allows for three different positions. 1) Rear pto 2) mid mt. pto and 3) rear/mid together. I guesing # 3 would come in handy if you wanted to run a rear mounter sander/salter while blowing snow.

Illustration in order. From mid pto to the blower.
