Snow Help with finding 3 pt hitch snowblower

[massey4mike]

Hello folks, I have a 2005 M6800, no cab, and need to replace my old snow blower. I am leaning toward a Puma 74 but would like to know if anyone has a better suggestion. I also need help finding a dealer that could have used blowers or a good price on a new one. I live on the west side of the White Mountains in NH, close to the VT border. A couple of dealers I have contacted have responded once to an inquiry but did not respond to follow up questions.
Thanks.

Wow! 80 views and nobody has any input?! Looks like I am in trouble! There is a JD dealer nearby but that green paint is awful expensive and I don't want to get the cheap stuff that Tractor Supply has to offer.
Can ANYONE help?

What's the average price for a five footer to fit my SC2400, Ken?

You've been in touch with Northwood? You could also Google "used implements"; a lot of dealers will list their used items on a website. How about Town Line Equipment?

Sometimes I wish I was closer to Littleton's TSC- it's a one-hr+ hike from here!

Irving, I have not been in touch with Northwood, I will try them. I have looked on line and there are a lot of blowers in Canada and some in the midwest but nothing that interests me in New England.
Townline had one used blower that looked well overpriced.
Riverside in VT told me they had a used Pronovost coming in and I asked them another question and never got a response. Similar experience with Aebi in Alstead, they have a used Couture blower that seemed expensive so I asked for a price on a new Puma and no response.
You are not missing much by being that far from TSC. Their implements are light duty. However, I guess it IS fun to walk through there once in a while!

Ken, how does the Buhler compare to Puma or JD? Does it have four blade fan? What is the diameter of the fan? Does it have hydraulic chute rotation? Gusseted corners? Grease fittings on bearings? Is it suitable for a M6800?
