Snow Front Mount Snow Blower

[ylazyy]

Has anyone had experience with an Erskine front mount snow blower for a JD 4720? My driveway is over 2000 feet so I do not want to use a rear mount blower. At the moment, this is all I can find.

I don't have any specific info on this blower...

BUT...My dealer (Padula Brothers in Lunenburg, MA PadulaBrothers) had a 4720 with a BIG BLACK front mounted snowplower on it on their lot for a while. I always wished I had taken a picture of it.

Give them a call they might be able to tell you what they did.

Brian Mansfield is the guy to talk to

Have had 5 foot Erskine blower since 1986 and it has severed me well In fact it was converted to front mounted blower around 2000

That is impressive on your 4300. I wouldn't have thought you'd have the power needed.. Is it PTO-driven pump or hooked through the 3rd SCV?

The pic rights itself for me..

And would like you to add it to the other thread going on "snow weapons "

Any video of that blower in action? What brand of cab do you have?

4300! Love mine!

What cab is that if I may ask? And do you just use it for winter?

Just curious...I am in the process of replacing my 955 Deere and its equipment as the 955 drivetrain is broken. I have the 59" snowblower set up for the front of my 955...wondering if the same blower would work on newer models, but with the correct new model mounts, etc. Any experience with that?

Yes it will, I have the same blower that went from my 4200 to a 4310 and now to my new 3039r. The new tractors use a 3pt mount on the front which you can but a kit to convert your old blower. Mutton power equipment has a conversion chart on line on what you need to convert.
