I'm at wits end searching for a front mounted snow blower for my NH TZ25DA subcompact tractor. New Holland stopped producing subcompacts. Any search leads would be appreciated. Thank You.

Hello CDN24,

Did you know that if you invest in a rear mount you can spend about half the money
and get all the bells and whistles for less money rather than what you would spend in loonies
by buying a front mount motorized Bercomac snow caster??

As you have 4 shoe mule/4 wheel drive check with the Bercomac folks,
one of their motorised snow casters may work out well for you.

As much as I hate two stage snow casters(front or rear)for any size mule
you may just end up going to Bercomac.

Your going to need chains and loaded tires if you do not have them all ready.

Saying that you could contact Pronovost in Quebec and ask how
much a three point front mounting kit would cost for your mule.

By using this mounting kit you can purchase a rear mount snow
caster for much less money.

If you have a front end loader you could use the loaders hydraulics to
operate the lift and the chute and spout controls allowing you to upgrade
the snow caster by adding the hydraulics option.

Did you try CaseIH dealers? I am guessing that tractor was also sold in red paint.

Thank rear mount is still an option. Reverse on this machine is Brutal slow and twist and shout in reverse doesn't have a lot of appeal.

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

CDN24 · Mar 8, 2016

I'll go there thanks

CDN24 · Mar 8, 2016

Normand I'll check them out. Preference is front only to avoid the kink in my neck ..... the cost for front monun so far is scarydiculous.

It is my opinion from what I have gleaned from the internet that the Kubota BX2750D, the New Holland 50CS, and the Massey Ferguson Model 2360 are identical blowers with identical mounting systems, all made by RAD Technologies in Canada, but painted different colors. I believe they all will fit your tractor if you have the correct quick hitch sub frame and PTO kit. But don't take my word for it. I put this forward only to assist you in your search. Good luck. By the way, I have the BX2750D on my Kubota BX25 and it is one heck of a blower.

I would tend to agree. From the quick connect forward, I am pretty sure they are interchangeable.
The tractor side mounts are all a little different.

Hmm, Kubota dealer just up the road; I'll go talk it up with those guys for sure. Thanks. Meanwhile, also shopping for rear PTO driven blower; at 1/4 the cost but here's the other shoe. My TZ25DA has a great little not so little engine but in reverse High is useless if there is so much as a bump, I can't back it onto my trailer ramp in High it's got to be in Low and with the 4wheel peddle down. So here's the question: Given the blower weighs in at 390lbs, the tires are calcium loaded, driveway has a considerable grade ......... does the rear mount snow blower give extra traction or does the extra weight risk stopping it dead in it's tracks in the face of a 6" snow job and some $3000.00 spent ? Any opinions?

Rear blower adds weight to REAR wheels and removes if from front wheels. Front blower adds weight to front and removes it from rear wheels.

You will be using low range with snow blower anyways.

if you have no adhesion you have no traction, if you have no adhesion you have no tractive effort available through the drive train.

If your tractor has problems it may simply need to be adjusted "Properly" to remain in 4 wheel drive.

You can always invest in a set of rear snow chains for the tractor and a set of Nokkian snow tires for the tractor if your worried.

Do you have a dump trailer that you are using with a landscapers deck?
If you are concerned you could always use a warn winch to pull it up the trailers ramp.

Don't forget, you can get a rear view camera that allows you to use the rear mount blower without getting a kink in your neck. Check out the various discussions on TBN about this. There is some very good information.

I just got back from the Kubota dealer. Salesman told me no specific for each model, didn't even check. Mind you this is the same guy that sold me a back blade with a wrong sized mounting. At $8000.00+ I don't need that much convincing to shop arournd anyway. LOL Thanks

CDN24 · Mar 10, 2016

Hi leonz, my trailer is a box trailer maybe 16" to the deck and the ramp is a 60". I back the tractor onto it backhoe and fel everything but can only do this in LOW. I think my issues with the HI power is as suggested by lonslow .... adjustment of my 'top nut'. I'll check this out.

I bet he was blinking his eyelids at the same time too! It is never a good sign when you walk into any type of dealership.

Check with the local Pronovost dealer in your neighborhood for a rear mount snow caster and you
can get a complete hard wired cab cam with one camera and the monitor for about $250+- USD
so you can avoid issues with your neck and back.
