New Kioti front blower or 3 pt ?

[450EXC]

Good news and bad news. My dealer says Kioti is developing a new front mounted snowblower, but, He dosnt think it will be ready this fall/winter. He expects price to be around $ 4,000.

I think I am leaning towards a rear 3 pt.
Anyone have any good expierence?

Here is what I have found so far and thier distance away from me.

My dealer: Woods 60", $ 2,700. 1 1/4 hr
Others: Pronovost puma 72" $ 1,950. 1 hr
puma 60" 2,000. 1/3 hr
Econor 60" 2,000. 1/3 hr
used Econor 72" 1,800. 1/2 hr

The used Econor is 1 yr old and barely used, but still used, no waranty, etc.

what do you think?

Larry,

I am not sure if it is just the Northeast or what but your pricing seems high to me. Do some searches, there is a couple of members here that sell that type of equipment. I don't know what the freight charges will be but I saw a Buhler which is part of Farmking that was 60" and 1595.00. I would do some checking around.

High prices in New York, no way. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I did get a quote on a 60" Farm King that I didnt list - $ 2,065.

I was hoping to keep the money local, but.....
