simplicity legacy snowplow or snowblower

sammy12975 · Aug 5, 2012

I have a 2006 simplicity legacy 4x4 and am looking at putting either a 60" snowplow or a 42" two-stage snowblower on it. Does anybody have recommendations? How does the legacy handle the blade? I have around 275' of driveway to plow. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Its easier on you and the tractor to blow it than push it. I have a Conquest and use the 42 inch blower. Wish I had yours. Is it a diesel?

Thanks for the help. Blowing is easier on the tractor, I agree. There is a fairly large price difference between the blower and the plow. I have the 27 hp kawaski motor. Works awesome, absolutely love it.

I paid 1500.00 for the blower, well built too. You will also need chains and rear wheel weights.

Where did you find the blower. My simplicity dealer wanted around $3000+ for the two stage blower. Is yours a single stage or two-stage? Can I get away with out the weight kit or chains if I have the 4x4?
