Why don't they make front snowblowers for UTV's?

[workhorse]

PTO power is the key for those compact and garden tractors, especially front mounted or mid mounted. A UTV would also need engine speed control separate from ground speed control to keep the RPMs up while creeping along.

A blower wide enough for a UTV also takes a lot of horsepower. A garden tractor can get by with a 36" to 48" blower, but you are talking 54" to 60"+ for a UTV. Look at the size of the engines they are putting on those self-contained units. It's bigger than some of the engines in the vehicles.

Be happy with your blades!

I will make due with the blades and who knows, maybe I will buy the TN 95FA with the front 3pt and pto so I can use my existing snow blower on the front of that and be in the heated cab. I need that tractor anyway
