Bob, you need a single auger 2 stage blower. The width of the blower is also important. You do not want a 7' or 8' blower. A six foot or a 6.5 would be just right for your tractor, even a 5' or 5.5, the blower should be the width of the outside of your rear wheels . You need to be able to run at PTO speed for best performance. Front mounted blowers are nice but carry a heavy price tag for the shafts and hook ups to mount on the front. I saw a front mounted double auger for sale for $6500 with the hardware. New blowers go for around $1800 -$2500 depending on width, double or single auger and size of the fan. I have had a blower for over 20 years without any problems with it, it needs a new tightner sprocket and that's from 20 years of normal wear. In southern Ontario, "Lucknow","Smythe", "McKee" are popular brands, "White", "Huskey", John Deere...all have good reputations. I have a Lucknow and it has been a great piece of machinery..good luck with the snow...Mike in Exeter Ontario
