Sorry, I wasn't more clear in my message about photo posting.On the left column of this site under Galleries, there is an option for Tractor Photos. This option lets you post a picture in an 'Photo Alblum' section.
Once you've successfully posted your picture in the alblum then you can right click your posted picture, pick up the URL address and returning to this forum post the picture as part of a message. Regarding snow build-up, just ignore it. When you use the snowblower on a windy day, both you and the tractor will get snow packed in uncomfortable placed but it doesn't do any harm and will fall/melt off quickly enough. I have found occassionally the throttle linkages or govenor in need of a quick trip back to the garage to put a heat gun on stuck parts to get rid of over-reving but that's rare. The issue you'll have with your blower is the lack of a live PTO. That is when you're backing into deep snow that you'll have to press in the clutch to slow down to avoid bogging down the engine. When the clutch is down, the PTO stops turning and the blower stops. I'm sure you'll find the right touch by shaving the snow down layer by layer to avoid bogging down the engine. Please keep us informed of your experience. Everyone says blowing on an N in reverse is not worth the hassle but I've never tried. My blower faces forward as you can see and you drive into the snow with it dragging the snow into the V-shaped chute and a single stage blower throws it to the side. It works very well in our kind of snow (i.e. not too wet and heavy). If the snow is too heavy, it becomes a box blade allowing me to drag the snow off somewhere but not as efficient. Keep us all informed of how it goes, Regards,
John
