Massey hydraulic snowblower

[Fredartic]

Is there anyone has this? Is it good?

Hydraulic? My front-mount is PTO-driven.... is that what you mean, or is there some other snowblower set-up?

I too have the 2360 blower. If it is the same one it runs off the MM PTO and has a hydraulic lift that connects to the FEL Block. BTW works AWESOME

 

[Fredartic]

I don't know which one the dealer offers me; the only thing he said, it needs an output oil for the hydraulci control. It's a rear snowblower.

The chute rotator and deflector control on the front mounted 2360 are all electric (if you get those options). Is the rear blower your dealer is telling you about a MF or someone else's? Perhaps they have hydraulic controls (which are better IMO).

I see, Fredartic-- you were talking about a rear-mounted blower. Mine is front -mounted, as others on this post, the #2360. It's powered by the mid-PTO through a driveshaft extension and a quick-hitch assembly that mounts to the front of the frame, after grille guard is removed. Because it has all this "extra" stuff it's a bit pricey, but I felt I did not want to be going backward all the time to blow snow off my lengthy driveway. Something you might wish to consider. I suspect the rear-mounted blower is similar in that the lift is hydraulic, but the actual drive is from the rear PTO output. Chute deflection on the 2360 is electric on mine as well; manual controls are available, but I'm glad I have the electric-- a bit slow, but far more convenient. Yes, when I attach the blower (after removing bucket) I also hook up two hydraulic lines for the blower lift control; it's also nice that the FEL hydraulic control has a float position, which works well for snowblowing; I don't know if the rear does or not, but I don't think so.

So how come the front mount snowblower is not an option for the 1523??

 

[DEWFPO]

I would guess that on the 1523 it would need to be hydraulically driven and perhaps the 1523 doesn't have enough flow or HP to spin a hydraulically driven blower.

i don't mean about chute rotation, the 1523 has mid & rear pto. The front mount blowers are pto driven.

If one is available for the 2300, then I would think one is available for the 1523??

There is not a MF front mount snow blower for the 1523, you may find that Erskine may have a front mount snow blower, it connects to the rear PTO, but mounts on the front. We have had very good luck with the Erskine.
