I need to get very tall drift cutters for next year lol.

If you have them you wont need them. It is when you don't have them that you need them.

Dave, is your blower driven from fwd or mid mount PTO?

 

[BlueBerry Farmer]

Mid mount PTO...which turns up up 2,000 rpm. Ones has to make sure the shafts are attached and secured correctly, heard its not a nice experience if one lets go.

The pics on post #30 are a little deceiving (pics don't lie but can stretch things). The mail box pic is the result of me blowing out the box after two or three storms, for the drift pic, the drift actually dropped off to the driveway just to the other side of the tractor, you will see a snow scope in the back ground that I used to cut the drift off after the blower under cut it then I blew it away. I don't want folks thinking that this set up will destroy 6-8ft drifts though high drift cutters might of allowed me to do such. The other day I decided to make more parking room for a local church (pancake supper), the snow was previously piled up high by a much larger tractor and bucket and frozen up pretty good. The backhoe of my MF1720 allowed me to tear up the 7ft frozen and compacted snow thus allowing me to blow it away, to my surprise the blower was eating up bowling ball size (king pin) chunks of ice, I didn't know this at first.

Wow, that sounds like a great setup!

I've been debating on a snowblower for the atv or a plow for a truck (that I plan to get in the fall anyway)... I've decided on a plow... but surely it won't snow next winter. LOL I'm sure alot of people are going to upgrade their setup this year here in NS.

I know what you mean, same here in New Brunswick. On this day I had to blow the main road just to get to my driveway.
