Snow blower on the Ferguson.

[Propane1]

Put the snow blower on yesterday. Bought this last year and never got around to using it. So hope fully we can try it out this winter. We got it just for entertainment, was only $200.00 dollars. But I’m sure it will move some snow. Under a foot or so, it should work. Not the primary snow removal for the 800’ plus driveway. Snow removal is contracted out. But we still like to remove snow we’re they don’t do. Around buildings and drift clean up in the driveway, when the contractor is not back. Driveway can drift in some, even if it’s not snowing.

Never seen one like it.
Do you go forward or drive backwards.?

I also mounted snowblower on my tractor yesterday, the walk behind is faster and more efficient
I only mount blower to avoid Murphy’s Law

 

[Propane1]

Forward. Some of those blowers could be mounted to pull forward, then could be mounted to push backwards.
There is a video on you tube of the exact blower being pulled by a 53/54 Ford tractor.

I've never used one of those. They do seem to sell very reasonably around here.

Yeah, that's pretty different. Can you post a photo in operation when you get snow?

When I started tractor shopping, I really wanted to go up to 35-40 hp and get a rear pull blower to leave the loader on the front.
Doesn’t really make sense when the driveway is 45’x70’.
Otherwise, it makes perfect sense. We may get one snow above 12” per season. Most are 3-6”.
I will hereby live vicariously thru you.

I will post pictures of the blower working Rich. Hopefully be a while yet before my son uses it and I’m inside watching, to get pictures.

Put that thing behind my DB 996 and watch the snow fly with the pto on 1000 rpm lol!

 

[Propane1]

Ya, that would make the snow fly.

Sounds like you will have the perfect seat for the show, Noel! Nice and warm in the house!
