Buying a Grand L6060- what options would you add?

[Fallon]

Defrosters require the big alternator, but not the seat. The seat shouldn't use much juice, only when you occasionally pump it up, and even then not more than headlights. Defrost usually has a power hungry heater element in it that is on for long periods of time, and extra fans.

I'm surprised you don't get much snow. A cab makes for a nice snow blowing machine.

I get moderate snow in the greater Reno, NV area. Elevation 5,000 feet at our property, on the back side of the Sierras. My massey SCUT is at this property.

I'm looking for the L6060 for another property in Northern CA, elevation 3,000 feet. It gets less snow. A foot is a lot of snow at that property.

plowhog, if you get a cab you will fog up. It is how quickly, and how often. Get a demister, you will be well pleased you did.
hydraulics: you require 1 scv to extend the ram and a 2nd scv to make the ram retract, ie 1 pair per ram (this is double action). Most hydraulic impliments need double acting rams to work. If you get a medium duty 8' back blade that may be light enough that a manual model will work. Alternatively a box blade may be better for you. This means you would only need 2 pairs(4scv outlets).
My blade is a heavy duty 6' manual 3 way blade and is too heavy to adjust on the steep tracks I have, I need to go to a fairly level (15 degree slope) place to adjust the blade. Tractor was a mf135 7'6" wide.
