Snow Attachments Snow blower attachment

CDN24: Looks like you went to Tracks n' Wheels....been there too....you need deep pockets for that place....doesn't sound like they made much of an effort...typical....I bought my rear blower, Walco-Renegade, from the same dealership that the tractor was purchased from in Noelville....Walco does have a front mount "skid-steer" type snowblower however not sure that would be suitable for your tractor "http://www.walcoequipment.com/file/s-1%20snow%20blower-%20pusher-blade_renegade.pdf"......have you tried Groulx Equipment in Sturgeon Falls?...they may have something for you....never bought anything from them as they are a MF dealership....from what I understand however, they also deal in various attachments....good luck...twister.

Hi Twister, Yes, it's like the I was sized up at a glance with a lunch pail income and dismissed. Groulx and the Noelville dealership ... no comment. MK Martin mfg of snow blowers, Ontario based is my front runner. I'm giving up on a front mount snow blower $8500.00 + tax from 3 different places just steap..... cheers ....... CDN24

8500 loonies + Mulrooney's taxes for a front mount kit vs 2500 for the rear mount... 3-4 places including Pronovost. Rear mount is only $$ logical option at this point. When I win the lottery I'll go big. ... cheers

Look at a Normand rear mount inverted blower. Made in Canada
Have one great investment.

An inverted blower would be utterly useless on a subcompact. Love Normand inverted (been using them for years on 100hp + Case) but you've got to have enough tractor to drive thru the snow to use one. My B3300 isn't enough, not even close

CDN24: I checked out the MK Martin units on their website and they look like fairly nice units and well constructed....the skid shoes are a nice feature.....also, the chute deflector has a better design than mine...note how the lower part has a "lobe" that extends downward which will help prevent snow leakage at the hinge when in the UP position.....nothing worse than having a small stream of powder blowing straight at you from a leaky chute. Is there a distributor close by?....looks like a big storm heading our way this week...you may need a new blower real quick......get you check-book out! :dollarsign::dollarsign: twister

I have a JD 3520 and use a 5' Normand snowblower in Northern Michigan. It is way better than a JD blower which i also have. I can do 30 driveways in half the time with the inverted blower. It works well for me, Maybe not everyone

I spoke to MK Martin, I'm good with their price, for me a snowblower is a snowblower. Your comments are encouraging because I was looking to buy there just not yet. And yes it looks like another 3-4 hrs on the tractor with my teaspoon bucket and backblade. Good news is I'm off on Friday. Thanks mrtwister

From what I gather my little TZ25DA is too small for inverted blower. Did check out Normand site though , it's something 'round 800 miles away. If I could afford a bigger horse I'd go there. Thanks

My L3200 (32hp, 3,500lbs loaded) was stopped dead driving through some moderate Colorado snow, much less trying to plow through it. No way an inverted blower would work for me. I'd wouldn't even think about inverted unless I had at least twice the tractor & was prepared to go out & work through the storm. I'll stay inside & deal with the full accumulation on my normal 3pt blower or SSQA plow after the storm.
