Snowblower size?

[escavader]

Ithought about a larger one than my 54 when i bought it.My wife and i figured i wouldnt gain anything ; the 54 needs to go around my 12 ft drive 3 times[overlapping each pass]the 6 fter would still need 3 passes,because you need to overlap a little.All i would have gained is a bigger price tag .Something to ponder mabey?

6' without a doubt.

With a hydro its even more reason to go 6'....if you only have 2" of snow...step on it, if you got 18" of snow...you can tailor the ground speed to match conditions...

Agreed with 72. I have the same tractor basically and just talked to my dealer about a 72" blower. You won't have a problem.

I power a 60" blower with my 13 HP PTO. It's adequate for my use. I do have to slow down a lot for drifts but I can clean the lane with one round trip.
30 HP on a 72" would march right through those drifts. If you get 2' of snow you'll be out there grinning and giggling as you show winter who's the boss.

I have no problem running a 72" blower behind my B7800 HST (30 engine HP, 22 PTO HP). I just have to be careful not to sideswipe things with the blower when I'm using the FEL (54" bucket).
