John Deere 755 with a 59" blower. First time using it and the 755 is rated for the 47" blower so we will see how it blows.

Here is my "snow weapon" for when it becomes too much for my little tractor.

Good luck with that set up...I think the 755 is a bit underpowered for the 59" blower.

He'll be just fine. In real heavy snow he'll have to slow down a little but for a normal snowfall, I'm betting it'll be full speed ahead. Big box store tractors have 42"-48" blowers on the front and don't complain one big, the 755 will drive a slightly larger blower no problem.

My local John Deere dealer told me that there wasn't a front mount snowblower for my 855! Now my new 3 pt 60 inch is being delivered tomorrow, needless to say after seeing your front mount on the 755 I'm just a little p*****d off. What type of blower is it?
Best of luck with it if your 755 runs as good as my 855 you will do fine.

Well, he's right, in a way...the front mount blowers for the 855 (and most other compact tractors over ten years out of manufacture) are no longer available through Deere. You can find them used...pretty scarce though, I'd imagine. It's not just the blower itself...that might be relatively easy...it's the bracketry and such.

As an example, I recently sold a soft cab (for an 855) that was left here by the previous owner of my house. The buyer drove 2 hours to get here. He told me he had been looking for months for a cab. That old stuff just isn't easily found.

Thanks Roy!

Well seeing as this is a tractor forum I just can't resist saying that when you get that Jeep stuck, And you will!! You will need a real tractor set up for snow and ice to fetch you out.

That will be great, im hoping the diesel will torque threw it all. I know there are times I will have to let up on the hydro and slow down to compensate.

LOL My Jeep goes places your tractor could only dream of going It's all relative. It does great for pushing snow where I am... may not where you are.

Three seasons and only got it stuck once. Dropped the pass front tire over the neighbor's cement culvert end and couldn't back up. There was a tandem dump truck clearing the cul-de-sac at the time, so I hooked up the strap and waited for him to notice me holding the other end. LOL He was worried he was empty and wouldn't have enough traction... neither of us spun a tire. Poped right out.

Well I can think of a few places you might be thinking of. Those ridiculous rock climb courses or some ditch with hard sides only six feet wide or a swamp suitable for airboats only. But for the most part if my tractor won't go there with the ice chains on it don't need going to.
Have a hassle free winter anyway.

That's a negative...be an interesting title though...
Sort of like "Deep Throat" in the Great White North...

I am in the process of negotiating a trade in for my 3 point blower on a new front mounted blower. I and my neck are now looking forward to winter.

I bought a used Eagle plow for my 855D Gator...from a fellow TBNer in Maine.

Got it mounted over the weekend. I still need to replace the wire rope on the winch with a strap. I need to get to Tractor Supply for that. I'll also need skid shoes which have already been ordered.

I actually got two plows. One is a standard straight plow, the other (which is mounted) a 3 position Vee plow. It's all manual angle and plow configuration (Vee, straight or scoop), but for the drive I have, it'll do quite well.

Roy- I have a V-plow very similar to your new one, on a 620i. Works great -- the gator is so maneuverable. I use about 400 pounds of weight in the bed. (Sand bags).
