I just finished clearing ~12" off our driveway here in SE Wis today with a 78" wide blower on the 3-point. I now use a M5700 Kubota but originally had a Massey 165. My suggestions: 1. look for a 2-stage unit with a horizontal auger that feeds the snow into the blower fan. 2. The ability to go backward slowly is important, especially on that first pass. 3. Traction seems to be more of an issue than power, even with only ~50 HP that I have had available to me. The Kubota is nicer because it has a slower reverse gear as well as 4 wheel drive (see 2 & 3) above. By the way, you do get a crick in the neck from using the unit, but this may be eased by snow that blows behind your collar if you point the chute wrong.
