Snow 2720 Snowblower Advice

[Rob-D]

Rick,
I had the 47" front blower on my 2720 and it was excellent. Did my long up hill driveway in 20 minutes. Very few shear pins over the years even though the drive is gravel. Plowed 4 foot high snow and plowed through the field to get to the barn. Getting ready to go with a 59" front blower for my 3320 after researching all the options it's the best for me. Rear blower? Not after I've used the front blower.

Highly recommended.

I have a 47" blower that I normally use on my X585 however I did borrow a pto shaft from a friend and ran the 47" on my 2720 and it worked very well. It never bogged (I've never bogged it with the 585 either) in the deep stuff. I normally plow the snow to one side of the driveway with the 54" blade then one or two passes with the blower. It's very quick to drop the blade and hook up the blower because of the quick attach.

The hydraulics are very fast and the only thing to make sure of is that you are in float mode with the blower, other wise you're digging in hard! Not great on a gravel drive

Nobody has talked about the Curtis Cab yet.

I have one on my 2305 but I can't send pics because I am 1500 miles away from home. Get it. You will think it was worth every penny this winter. Get the heater, defrost fan, fuse panel, and you can leave your big coat, boots, hat and gloves in the house!

I have the Farmking/Buhler 50" rear mount snowblower on my 2520. I have a 600' gravel drive way. It's really not that much of a pain to set it just a couple of inches higher than the drive to not fling the gravel around. I don't mind the rear mount snow blower as I like to keep my FEL on there for pushing piles out of the way and doing a plow job on the sidewalks and such. I can't use a cab as my barn door is only 7' high and cab would not clear but it would be nice on those windy days.
