Rear blower on front 3 point hitch?

[leonz]

Thank you, so the front PTO spins the opposite direction I take it? The front 3 point hitch and front PTO are field installed options I am considering.

Depending on the tractor and its horesepower you should also look at the PTO attachments
with the three point mount kits that are connected to your crankshaft flywheel which may
cost you much less money to install as the Erskine shaft drive systems can get into the 20
plus thousand dollar cost.

If you tractor is a hydro unit and has an option for a swivel seat and large truck mirrors
that would be much less costly for you where youy could buy an 8 foot snow caster for
much less money involved.

From what i can see in the brochure, it is 1000RPM

Would it spin the right way (clockwise) or would it be reversed?

So they don't attach by PTO then? Just straight to the crankshaft flywheel? That could be an option if so. My tractor has auto quad plus transmission not the IVT transmission. It does have a swivel seat and large truck mirrors.

Corey9212,

Does your tractor have a foot pedal for forward and reverse?
Once the blowers on the ground it becomes an anchor and it will stop
fairly quickly.


For the money you would be better off adding a rear view camera
and the widest Pronovost two auger snow blower for your tractor.

I have an Ag cam of a back up camera. it does help on the long drives

No it's a geared tractor, so how would that become an anchor and not a blade attached to the frame not become one? (Or does it as well cause I do see a lot of those on tractors.)
That could be an option though never thought to use a back up camera. The cool thing is my command center has a feature where it will display cameras on it so I already have the monitor and just need the camera.

I will have a look and see if it's compatible with my command center monitor. Only thing better I guess would be a swivel cab.

The Ag camera does help, but so wouldn't a good set of mirrors. The cost to put factory mirrors on was more than the camera.

From what I know of the front crankshaft PTO units they run the right way
with the reversing gearbox Corey 9212.

This is why I suggested you use a rear mount for much less money AND

You will be see everything in front of the snow caster as you are above
and behind the snow clearer.

I am curious to know how the front crankshaft PTO units work. Do they get turned off and on with an electro magnetic clutch like a garden tractor PTO?

The last time I saw one was two years ago at the Empire Farm Days.

Fom what I remember they were electric clutch operated.
The builders were a couple of European outfits
from Great Britain and Germany.
