Grapples, remotes and snow blowers...

[buyerjohn]

ok, i don't like the idea of frozen contacts so the rear blower may be out! Now that i'm going to have a set of rear remotes, will a Woods gb-72 box blade take advantage of them with a tilt function? a landscape rake? if not, what else will off the rear pto?

Also, on a slightly different subject, does anybody know if the Woods landscape rake wheel kit will also work with their box blade?

thanks, John.

would a hydraulic top link take advantage of the rear remotes? what's the cost to have one installed?

Yes. Installing a hydraulic top link takes 2 minutes. A suitable top link with check valves should run around $200. See www.cmachinery.com for details.

A plow will be much faster than a blower except when the snow is very deep (assuming there is curb space to push the plowed snow). A cab is essential when snow blowing, but isn't needed for plowing (though is nice).
