This is my first winter at a new home with a 2000 foot long lane (on a hill). We had a big snow last week and I reached the limits of my existing snow removal equipment (Dearborn snow plow on a 1975 Ford 2000). Do any of you guys have any advice for me to consider regarding buying a snowblower for the same Ford tractor?
Thanks in advance!
JM

just remember snowblowers ruin a lot of tractors - most tractors don't go slow enough in reverse (hence the advantage offont mounts (but they are $$) and a lot of people start blowing snow before there tractor is all warmed up - spun bearings, etc..... ....

be careful..... ....I am just waiting for some snow - a lousy 65 degrees here today in the middle of winter....

I have a 58 ford dexta and believe it or not i have a 6 ft dual auger snowblower, i have no live pto, and it works fine, im sure it is a bit big for my tractor, but the ford handles it with ease. My only problem is the weight of it, so i loaded my front tires and now have no problems what so ever. I can clear a 700m driveway 2 passes in about 15 minutes. The only slight problem/ recomendation i have is if u use a blower that big on a tractor that big, dont give it full speed(pto) into a large drift, go in slowly and speed up as you move into the drift. I also use this setup for doing about 10 neighbours and this is ow i make my money(im 16) good luck

Heck Sean, you're just up the road from me ..about two hours, I run a Lucknow blower single auger but it is the fan diameter that makes all the difference in the world when it comes to blowers, sounds likke you have a good set up with the double.....Mike in Exeter Ontario

J.M. a snowblower should have the auger mounted low in the frame so that the bottom of the auger is just nicely clearing the frame. Some augers are mounted so there is 5 or 6 inches between the bottom of the auger and the frame. This means you end up pushing more snow and the auger doesn't clean out completely. I have run a 7 foot blower on a Case 300 and by using the hand clutch I have been quite successful but I am now running it on a I-H584 and its a perfect combination. I can put the tractor on its knees in heavy snow(3-4feet hard drifts) but using the clutch prevents that and cutting less than a full swath on the second pass is easier on the tractor. About 90 percent of my snowblowing is simple and easy with this outfit so I would think you have all kinds of horses to do the job. Mike in Exeter Ontario

I have a Ford 3000 that has both a front blade and a rear blower. My tractor has the 8 speed transmission ( 2 reverse speeds ) and live pto. If you don' t have live pto forget a rear blower. My 3000 has its hands ful with a 6'6" blower, even taking partial cuts.
