With all the snow removal posts, here is my way of doing it. Mounted a blade onto the front, instead of the bucket. Welded adjustable shoes on rear of blade for height adjustment. When the blade is tilted forward (like dumping the bucket) the shoes come off the ground allowing you to scape cement clean. Tilt it back, shoes lift the blade for the gravel driveway. Blade does not angle (yet). Rear Erskine blower, with 2 ft ext. wing on right side for the deep stuff. Chains and filled rear tires. I have more pics if any is interested.

SW3. Nice set up. Where did you find the blower? A friend of mine has been looking for almost two years, found one in Canada, but it got lost somehow, so he bought a front mount Dearborn. The Erskin blower has a good reputation. Where are you located that you need a blower and a front blade combined. Again an exceptional nice looking rig.Have fun this winter and safe tractoring.

I am located in NW Minnesota, about thirty miles from the city of Erskine. This is where the blowers were manufatured. There are still a few of them around up here. The blower tends to plug up if the snow is wet, that is where the blade is useful.

What are they going for now?
It's been a pretty good fall,a few fluries, but nothing to plow yet. Although the Copper Country, about 100 miles from here, got 13 inches in spots last week. How has it been your way? Ron
