I'd like to buy a 60" snowblower for my CK20 but wonder if it's strong enough to run it. The snowblower requires 18 to 30 hp and my tractor manual says the tractor delivers 16.5hp. Close enough?

With an HST you can generally go slow enough to manage a slightly larger than spec blower. Taking smaller bites after the first pass also helps if hp becomes an issue.
There are just so many variables, including snow type but do not plan on zooming through 2' of wet snow like butter!

So I pulled the trigger on a 60" blower and it's all set for snow. Naturally the temperature has consistently been in the 40's and I can't say I'm disappointed. We've still got 3 months of potential ahead so I'm sure I'll get to use it.
Next job is to install a pair of LED lights on the ROPS.
