Im torn between the Land Pride SB1064 and the Farm King Y660 rear snowblowers. The price is within 100 dollars of each other. Maybe you guys can give me some reviews on each.

Can't give you a review but buy the one with the largest diameter fan as that's important for throwing and clearing snow fast from unit. I've had a Lorenz double augur in the past and now have a Kubota L2674, which is 74" Hydro operating chute. Can't seem to remember who makes three point blower for Kubota but it's quite heavy and built heavy duty also. Good luck the L3200 will handle it with ease.

As someone who recently searched for a snowblower for my tractor, I'd have to give the nod to Farm King over Land Pride in this case. I've owned Land Pride implements and I still may end up buying one of their brush hogs. I think they make excellent quality stuff. However, in this case I think that the Farm King is a slightly beefier looking unit and would be my preference. I was looking for bigger units than what you are looking for but I would imagine my assessments would carry over to the smaller units as well.
Devildog1, I believe that RAD Technologies makes the snowblowers for Kubota. I know they make at least some of the for Kubota and Frontier for that matter. I remember that there was no difference between similar Frontier blowers and RAD blowers in the 74" range when I looked at them for my last tractor. The used unit that I just bought for my current tractor is a 94" wide RAD Blizzard unit. It seems just a slight bit less beefy than the Pronovost and Normand units that I looked at, and I preferred the chute rotation setup better on the Pronovost and Normand units but I'd rate the RAD model only the slightest little bit lower. Actually I'd say that the RAD unit was a hair bit nicer than the Puma line from Pronovost. Plus in my case for $1600 for a 94" unit with hydraulic chute rotation and only a season of use on it I couldn't go wrong, especially considering that a new Pronovost unit was going to run me $8000. I'm hopeful and confident that my experience will mirror yours.

I have a Buhler/Farm King /Allied 60 " blower on my BX 2200 and I have had no complaints. The unit is of simple design and seems to be well built and easy to service, or repair if required. My blower is just starting the third year but so far I am impressed.

While I have no experience with the Land Pride line, I am a very satisfied Buhler/Farm King Y600 owner. Like TGReaper said, well built and simple. It also costs way less than Pornovost, which is an awesome unit, but far out of my price range. I believe I paid a little over $2000 for it about three years ago.
Good luck with your search.
