why go only one direction when you can go both.

If I had a 75hp tractor with 1/2 mile, I would smile to do it with an inverted snowblower!

My pick:

Pronovost inverted snowblower 86" width model P-860 IV

Pronovost- Inverted Snowblower

Hello Phil,

Thanks for mentioning the PXPL XPRO units, you beat me to it.

The PXPL units are are rear mounts that are capable of pulling snow
out of closed tight spaces that would not allow the operator to cast
the snow away safely. There are a bunch of videos on you tube
showing how well they work.

All he would need to do is add the rear work light option and the extended
chute to eliminate any of the blow back from wind blowing the wrong way.

The snow would be cast up and away from the tractor and the the snow would
not be able coat the rear window.

Phil had the links for the inverted. You will need to use the links I posted for the PXPL.

Whoopsy!

My apologies cford36. We both know good snow casters
when we see them so we have that in common

I'd suggest the Normand Inverted (pull style) blower. They have a Hardox steel frame that is stronger than the other brands. I know several guys using them on long driveways, and even more guys running them commercially.

Also just so everyone knows, the PXPL mentioned above is not a pull style blower, it only blows while moving in reverse. What it has is a pull back blade for getting up close to garage doors. It's a nice blower, but it's almost 2x the cost of an inverted blower. It's really more suited for a bi-directional tractor like a TV145. I know several contractors that used to use the PXPL that have switched to inverted blowers because they are easier to use, faster, cost less to buy, cost less to own, and don't need an expensive bi-directional tractor to use properly.

Here are a couple videos of my tractors with Normand inverted blowers.

Hey.... i know that guy in the last video! That driveway had LOT of snow on it...

I would cast my vote for a Normand as well. VERY impressed with our Normand 92-280. Well built, durable and awesome to watch it work.

Image is the guy to get a hold of in the states, for help with selecting the right size and options.
