Looking at pull type snowblowers

[atsah]

I would venture to say a pull type blower would work in areas that get light snowfalls if it's hooked to a big tractor, If it has a sharp cutting edge it might scrape up the snow that you already drove over, if they worked well in deep snow I would see them everywhere here in ME, I have never seen one, the idea of driving over snow pulling a blower makes no sense to me..

I have moved snow about every way possible, trying not to get stuck and pulling a blower over packed snow isn't one of them..

I don't have a pull type blower, but I do plow a lot of snow with my pull type back blade.
I have no problem pulling that through more then 18" of snow.

No problem

Or if you insist on a rear blower and don't want to pull it, this is the only way

Excellent videos, thank you for sharing. I visited Scandinavia last year, Oslo, Stockholm, and Copenhagen. I see you are from Norway. I was so thoroughly impressed with everything I saw in these places! I tell everyone who will listen that they must visit. Its so clean, happy, and healthy. Gorgeous all around!

If I had a tractor that large I would not be so worried about getting a rear inverted snowblower. But I have an L6060 and am worried that for some reason my 2 steep asphalt hills (15% grade) will be a nightmare.

All those small tractors are falling for the very bad idea that tractors should pull and not push at the rear, it would not cost much to have a dual command so you could turn your seat and have rear controlls so you could push without killing your neck, Valtra has this as an option and as you can see on the last video it makes blowing with a rear blower a pure pleasure.

Thanks, we have it alright, I must admit that.

That is a nice tractor and snow blower :thumbsup: :drink:

Both videos tell the story.. Both big tractors, the pull type blower is working in a light snowfall, the push blower is working in the deep stuff, pretty simple math there..

If we are talking real snow and drift then tractors are a joke, to little power and you can't lift the blower to take the snow in steps.

Rear pull blowers works fine, but you can always find situations where they are not ideal.
