Oh great wise ones:
I'm researching what tractor to get, and want to end up with a snow blower up front. I'm looking at about 30hp and a 5 foot blower. Looks like one way to do this is get a FEL with skidsteer quick attach, then get a hydraulic blower with quick attach fittings. Problem is that tractors in the 30 hp range will not have enough hydraulic gpm to operate a snow blower. So, I'd have to put a hydraulic pump on the rear PTO and run lines up front.
How do you do this? Do you have to buy all the components separately (pump, reservoir, control block, lines) or are there standardized after market kits for doing this?
How much gpm would I need?
Thanks in advance, JG
