Really, so you drive forward running over the snow, then the blower behind you picks it up and tosses it away.....that does not seem like it would work very well. I have only used them that mount on the front and still have traction problems from time to time pushing the snow....it is heavy, I can only imagine if you had the driving wheels in 13" of snow. One year I did not have the blower mounted on the tractor and it was in a different building, the drifts so high I could not get the tractor out....I think it would be real bad to have to get all 4 wheels in the snow and in a 4' drift before the snow blower started to do anything.....to me it just seems stupid....I want the snow away before the tractor has to drive in it.
(am I misunderstanding your post) ?
I don't know if you're misunderstanding my post, but in places where they get a heck of a lot more snow than anything in the lower-48, tractors with 3pt pull-type blowers are very common. In fact, most of the inverted blower manufacturers seem to be in Canada. The blower has a cutting edge on the front that gets the snow compacted by your tires.
