I am looking to find ablower that will handle really wet snow that I can fit onto my antonio carrero ttr4400 . I have 35hp and a revesable seat. I have looked at the zaugg blowers but the cost is a bit high for me as this is a hobby machine primarily.

The wetter the snow the more HP you will need - or you need to take a smaller bite (or buy a smaller snow blower). With only 35HP then just get a blower that covers your tracks and pray you have enough power to move it. Keeping your chute angle high helps to keep the snow from clogging (IMO).

The tractor has a width of 53" but i was thinking to get a 72" or the Zaugg 55' Zaugg SF55 Snow Blower really nice but sitting around the $15 mark

I would just go with a 60" blower if you really get a lot of wet snow. It would be nice to have a wide blower for powder and a narrow blower for slush.

I have a hard time taking narrow swathes. I just want to get the job done so I keep trying to take a bigger bite and then - bam - the chute gets clogged.

I've always thought that higher RPM would help. My Honda walk behind handles wet snow very well. My Ford (540 RPM) blower plugs easily.

I'l like to find a blower that gears up the 540 PTO to about 1500 RPM.

any idea on what brand you would choose for a blower?

There's a lot of good blowers out there,
my experience says to look for ones with
the largest fan diameter for best throwing
performance.
In Ca. , Normand makes their commercial duty
ones, and their lighter Econor models. We have
good luck with them here in Upstate NY.
Loftness makes a very heavy snowblower also.
Rad is good, their blizzard. Buhler/Allied...
lots to chose from. I'd find someplace local
that deals with a good unit so you can get parts
and service if needed.

One trick I have used over the years is to spray the chute and auger with silcone spray before and during snow season, especialy when I have to deal with heavy wet snow. I use a Bobcat S130 with a hyraulic blower for heavy snow removal. In spite of my best efforts I have also managed to plug the blower solid with with ice and snow. Heavy wet snow is difficult to handle no matter which way you choose to remove/relocate it. Roger
