b7500 snow removal????

[Cabledog]

I'm thinking of buying a 7510HST. They are suppose to be arriving at the area dealer this week. Will it do the job in the snow????

They are used quite widely up here in NY and I'm quite sure they can handle the Virgina snow.

I have been using mine for the last couple of weeks and I have been very happy. I use a 5' rear blade and a FEL and I love the combo. I use the FEL for when I want to push streight or pile the snow, I use the rear blade on an angle when I need to clean up and move the snow to one side of the drive.

I use a 50" 3pt snowblower and it works like a champ, I've put it through drifts and snow bank that were 36" deep. The thing I love the most is I don't need wheel weights and tire chains like I used to when I owned a smaller garden tractor. I can switch from mowing grass with my 60" MMM to blowing snow in about 15 min.

Sir,

I have been using a B7610 (almost the same tractor) with a 50" front mount, and find that it works quite well. Check out my pics link at bottom.

Good luck.

I'm happy with the PTO HP of the B7610. It blogs down slightly when snowblowing 8"+ going up a very steap section of my 1000 ft driveway. But then again, I snowblow in High gear. All I do is ease of on the Hydro peddle a bit and go slower and the engine RPMs pick right up. It has impressive power and torque with the MMM is the summer. Incredible difference over mt old Scotts rider.

cayanne,

Aside from the blower, I run a loader, 60" MMM, 50" tiller, and 48" rough cutter. With the exception of the blower, I find the tractor to be more than adequate to run each implement.

For some strange reason, it seems like I have to go rather slow with the blower when the snow is heavy. Others running this tractor/blower have said the same. I'm not sure why this is. It's not a big deal, just that I expected to be able to run much faster than I could with my old Ariens 14HP with 48" blower. The fact is I can't. So it still takes me 15 minutes to clear my 300' drive of a foot of snow. I was hoping for something like 12 or 13 minutes ;-).
