I checked out your cab build and that is impressive work. Nice job!
I noticed the mirror too and think that may be a solution or partial solution to using mirrors for backing up with the blower. I use side view mirrors on my pick up truck for all my reversing needs and find it works very well but those mirrors are placed in a perfect location to give me sight lines along the sides of the truck and they are regular mirrors, not convex. They are also heated. I know they get wet when it rains but can't remember if that is an issue or not. You'd think that after 50 years of driving I would remember something like that.
Someone mentioned using a front mount plow and rear inverted blower. I use an 8' front mount plow now and have considered a rear inverted blower but it wouldn't work in my situation unless I completely changed the way I deal with snow on the driveway. The way I see it, I would have to use the blower for every snowfall and blowers are way slower than using a plow. If I only had a few hundred feet of driveway it wouldn't matter. I could use a rear facing blower and get the job done quick enough or use an inverted and get it done faster. But I have a long (1.5 km) driveway and blowing that every storm would take much longer than plowing every one and only having to blow sometimes or never if we don't get a lot of snow. I can't imagine trying to drive through this bank with my tractor pulling an inverted blower. For my needs I believe the blower must be the first thing to enter the snow, when blowing is needed.
