NH snowblower $

fdny_hick · Jun 27, 2006

Hi,

Has anyone with a small TC used NH's front snowblower? Is it's performance worth the money? I'm pricing out a new machine for purchase asap and I can't believe the $ NH is asking for the blower. $4000.

I'm stepping up from a grey market Yanmar and figured I'd get all the toys (sorry attachments) I wanted when I purchased the new machine. Since I'll be financing with 0%.

The prices I'm getting are in the $24K range. Thats for the TC26, loader, mmm, grass catcher and snowblower. The attachments double the cost the machine.
I've been reading that guys are buying machines twice the size of the 26 for about the same price as the 26 with a few attachments. How can this be? Are attachments really worth the $.

On a different note has anyone else had problems getting bumped of the site when trying to post a thead? I just wanted to see if its the site or maybe my computer. Thanks.

I think they are worth the money, otherwise without attachments you just have an oversized (and rather slow) go-cart.

No problems posting.

Front loaders are between $4,000 & $6,000 for a good one. A good backhoe will cost no less then $7,000 These prices are for the Class III Boomers. Like dad always said, you wanna play, you gotta pay.

$4000 is about right for that. I know it's pricey, but there is a lot more to a frount mounted blower. There is the frame rails going back, the piston/front lift frame. The rear mounted ones are a bit less than half of that.
