Snow Front mount MF2360 or rear mount 60"

Hi all,
Have over 90" so far this winter

and next storm is looking like another 18" :confused2:. So been rethinking the whole snow relocating issue. Looking for opinions of front mount MF2360 (50")or rear mount 60" for my GC2610. I have 2 "U" shaped driveways, one is about 150', the other is over 300'. Your input is welcome!

If the 50" covers your tractor width, definitely go that route. I have used both and there is no comparison to comfort and ease of using the front blower. Even though you gain 10" with the rear mount, you will still be faster with the front. But I just realized you have a loader and when dealing with the quantities of snow you have this year get the rear mount so you still have the loader available. I don't have a loader to deal with so putting on the front mount is a snap.

Those 2 drives don't justify the additional cost of a front mount in my opinion.
Also blowing circular drives will be easier with the rear as it is wider and being closer to the operator precise visibility is better.
than looking over the hood and beyond. (sort of like loading a foot sized stone in the FEL)
Also blowing in tight turns would be tricky due to side swings.
