I'm just concerned that it might be a bit large for blowing snow around the buildings.
The Hurlimann is difficult due to size. The B7200 is about right. (But the one I have is missing the winter niceties like 4WD ;-)

I'm going to need to rethink if I "need" a front mount blower like I've fitted to the B7200. I have a pair of 5 foot, 3pt blowers to select from ;-)

I did pick up a 6 foot Kubota snow blade recently, That may be a set up worth exploring.

Blade in front, blower out back. On the B2601. A FEL and a 7 foot scrape blade on the Hurlimann.

Oh! And don't let me neglect to mention the 7 foot Western snow plow on the Fordson E27n. The old gal might get upset if she weren't included when the heavy wet snow comes down. She can push her weight around just fine!

Front blowers are for sure the nicest to use, but I use a 3pt on mine because I can't go a day without using my loader for something. So I just put rear view mirrors on mine, at least I don't have to look over my shoulder the whole time.
My little B gets more use than any of my tractors, just because it is so versatile and can get in anywhere.
Here's my winter setup.

I couldn't find enough wrong with it....

Alright, A bent top link end (the right Hand thread end)

The hood ornament is broken off.

Time for an oil /filter change

The air filter was quite dusty.

But

Complete documentation.

and there are TOOLS in the tool box!


The seller/ original buyer is a pretty nice fellow too. Happy anyway ;-)

Nice tractor. At 300 hours there isn't much you can do yo abuse it anyway.

Agree!

Last oil filter change was at 204 hrs. It's 288 now. Abuse? ;-)

I've set the blower aside, (that is how the bent top link part was discovered)

Dropped the FEL to have a good walk around of the under hood. Dusty, but clean...

I order out the B7324 High output alternator kit.
Winter seems to long of nights and hard to keep the batteries up, if the B7200 is any indication. The two tractors share the fitting of the same 14 amp dynamo.

Waiting on the rear wheel chains. They were "forgotten" with the delivery by the seller.

No issue, his home is on the way to my daughter's place.

Small world!
;-)

Why are kubota Cat 1 top link fittings narrower than the Cat 1 top link ends fitted to the top links sold at Tractor supply?
