Not sure where I posted my location, but that's alright. Just a few miles from Wrenshall. Anyway, you prefer the front end blower. I have thought about that. I have the midpoint PTO for it, but from what I have heard mounting and dismounting is not particularly quick and easy and I will want to use my bucket and grapple throughout the winter so tying up the FEL with a blower all winter is not high on my list.
On the other hand, that is why I'm watching this thread. Trying to learn.
PS Weatherunderground is currently listing a total of 14.9 inches before Wednesday morning.
