Skyhook, I am thinking of a 3-pt rear blower. I have a steep hill that I have to back up to push the snow down and the deeper the snow the harder it is to go up. I think with a rear blower, it would be a snap.

Your doing good, got a good scrape and gravel showing through!
Skyhook is talking about a forward driving "pull" blower saving the neck backing up all the time. There's several older discussions here about them. I think they cost a bit more but really look like a dream to operate vs the "back up" std tractor bower. Nice machine:thumbsup:

I LOVE backing up. I spend a lot of time backing up either the tractor, my truck, or my wife's car (which she can't back worth s***). When I go to the grocery store, I back into parking spaces because when you leave, backing out of the space people keep walking behind you or other cars drive by you like you can see everything around you. Much easier to back in and drive out. Went on a little rant there, but just wanted to get the point across that I back up without any problems.

I've been thinking about a rear blower for mine, but for now, this is the first winter w/o my truck and plow and using my Kubota 100%. Works well with plow and grader blade, but even with chains on the rear the ice on the drive is tough. I ordered chains for the front but they haven't come in yet. I want to get thru this winter this way and think about a blower over the summer. I'm thinking WoodMaxx. I've heard good things about them.<img src="http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=534918"/><img src="http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=534919"/><img src="http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=534920"/>

You won't be disappointed with the woodmaxx I have the SB60 on my Deere works great and at close to 800 lbs never had a traction problem loaded tires and no chains.

Wouldn't trade my front blower for any other type.

Is that driven via middle PTO shaft or rear PTO hydraulic pump?

one good thing about my front hydraulically driven snowblower...besides the fact that my neck no longer hurts....theres NO SHEAR PINS to mess with ever again.

Are your tires grooved?

I had those same style chains on my rear tires for the last few years, and would often have issues with traction even with the chains.

I was tired of spinning tires so I bought front and rear studded chains for this winter, and it made a HUGE difference. It’s night and day difference with the places I can go now.
