Hello, Neighbors! When I have time to daydream about the best way to blow snow, I have come-up with the following concept: Front-mount snowblowers are nice...but very expensive. Front-wheel assist tractors are nice...but also expensive. My idea is this...purchase an older four-wheel drive tractor, like a White 4-150, an IHC 2+2, or a Deere 8430, and either turn the cab around, or install a "flip-seat" and a second set of controls by the cab's rear window. This is commonly done in tractor-mounted back-hoes. This way, a farmer could have a heavy-duty, four-wheel-drive, "front" mounted snowblower without any expensive gearboxes or long drivelines. Also, it would have the benefit of the fan and radiator being well-behind the augers and fan (less likely to plug with snow). What are your thoughts? I'd kind of like to buy me an old 4-150 and tinker with it! (But...I gotta finish the IHC S-100 project first!) Have a great weekend! Merlin in Rushofrd, MN
