Snow Attachments JD 59" front snow blower

Was given a price of $4800.00 installed by my dealer. Any opinions on the blower and/or the price would be helpful. This would be going on a new 3720 cab. Thanks

You can buy a rear mount for less money and still have access to your FEL if you need it...

I can't comment on the price, but a front blower on a cab tractor would have to be one sweet setup for snow!

I'm just not sure I like the thought of looking backward all the time. The drag behind blower might work though.

Hi there. I have an erskine frontmount snow blower on my JD4500 with cab and I can tell you it is one of the best ways to clear a yard. I don't have to crane my neck around to watch where I'm going and the heater in the cab keeps me nice and warm. My yard is over 200' long as well as my neighbors yard and I am never tired nor wet when I am done clearing snow. You'll love it. It does interfere with FEL operation, though (it not there) but, I don't use the FEL in the winter anyway so it's never an issue for me. Good luck on what you decide to do. The price sounds reasonable to me for a frontmount unit. Roger
