Herbert, your 850 will handle a Vee shaped, pull through snow blower, a 72" width would work best.....
Forget the backup blowers with your tractor; live PTO is voted as a must.! and, don't ask me about a sore neck!
I worked as a mech and later parts manager at Bradley Motors in Erskine, Minnesota. Floyd Bradley started selling 9N Fords in 1939, and sold his share of new Fords. Over the years, many of these Fords were tested on new snowblowers, as
