Quote: BarnyardEngineering (quoted from post at 09:22:12 12/08/21) [quote="CVPost-chas036"](quoted from post at 13:26:29 12/07/21) Does anyone have any experience with a front mounted snow blower like the Erskine 60in snowblower. I have an Oliver 1800 , and I JD 730 would this type of snow blower work on this type of tractor?
There is no practical way to get either of those tractors narrowed up to 60" to fit behind that snowblower, and still have them usable for other things the rest of the year.
If you get heavy snows, the tractor wheels will be running in the deep snow trying to push the snowblower. There will always be at least one wheel in deep snow, tipping the tractor to one side, making the snowblower cut unevenly. You will need to make multiple passes over the same area to get things cleaned up which can be annoying.
Ideally you want the blower to be at least as wide as the tractor.
If you don't get frequent heavy snows, a snowblower is a waste of time. Just get a blade and push it out of the way.[/quote]
I've seen angled wings or scoops added to each side of blowers to widen the cut. Seems to work good, just have to go a tad slower to avoid overloading the blower in heavy or deep snow.
I would prefer that to looking over my shoulder constantly. Much more comfortable I would think.
Although I do know some people who see being uncomfortable while working to be a testimonial to their toughness.
