snow removal help

[Thomas]

About how much snow do you get year?
Drifting snow problem?
If went to plow truck setup there enough room to keep banks push back?
Front or rear blower?

The tractor you are looking at is more than capable of clearing your driveway and mowing. A plow for your truck would be much cheaper if price matters but that won't be any help mowing. A front mount blower is definitely more expensive than a 3 pt. and has the advantage of not having to drive in reverse. You could also look for a plow blade set up for the tractor.

The tc33 the OP mentioned would certainly work well but I would take the belly mower off during the winter. It's just going to get in the way. The FEL and PTO is the only issue with a front mount. A rear 3ph mount will be half the price and allow the FEL to stay on for stacking snow and other chores. Front mount is much easier to handle (and on the neck) but it all depends on how much you want to spend. Regardless, I wouldn't go much bigger than 5' with the blower though. With a 6' unit, a tc33 would probably have enough power to handle small snows but deep and/or heavy wet snow, or packed drifts will quickly overwelhm that sized tractor.

FWIW, I put one of these Rear View Backup Cameras - SSB Tractor to help with rear mounted blower. It does help. takes a bit of getting used to. But on the long sections it works well. One of our other members here has one on his kubota. It's a pretty impressive camera and vid screen.

How much is a tc33da worth with a mid mount mower fel and a backblade

I run a Lorenz 72" on my TC25D. The hydro trans helps out a lot as I can better control the speed at which the blower is fed. I wouldn't mind the 33 engine but the 25 gets the job done.

Depends on hours and condition but you can get a pretty good idea at this link. http://www.tractorhouse.com/list/list.aspx?ETID=1&Manu=NEW+HOLLAND&Mdltxt=TC33DA&mdlx=exact
