Switching between snow blower and FEL

[grsthegreat]

I believe ALL rear facing blowers are STRONGER blowers than any front facing blower. The mid powered is next and the hydraulic is the least efficient. Thats what i understand anyways

Did you look into the Erskine front blowers that run off the rear pto? Or were they just not an option?

This is the link Roy turned me on to. Two pretty cool videos! :thumbsup:

I did look at them, but i have to be able to swap between a plow and a blower without alot of effort. I have 2-1/2 miles of association roads that i have to have plowed before 6am. Didnt want the hastle of the drive shaft. The second reason is that when my barn sheds, i have a HUGE pile of hard pack snow to contend with . The ability to raise and lower my blower will help alot.

Then for sure you need two rigs...one with plow and one with blower.

You leave the hydraulic power pack on the 3PH?

Yes, that will stay on for the entire snow season. It add some nice rear ballast for the plow also. it holds 25 gallons of oil. It weighs 350# empty plus oil.
