Snow Equipment Owning/Operating Pictures of your snow weapons

Can't argue with that! If I had a mid or front PTO I would have one also.
Rear blowers are hard on your neck, but without the front PTO, front blowers are hard on your wallet:laughing:

It's really not that hard to run a PTO shaft under the tractor to run the front snow blower. Trouble is it's not cheap!

You just need to have the right kind of tractor so you can choose which end to use.

I agree it is pretty expensive compared to a rear blower. When I purchased my 2014 CK 30 HST the FMB was included in the deal with the mid pto, FEL and rear blade. So it was basically one time expense and never really thought about how much the blower was but the package deal was under 28,000 CAD tax included so I can't complain. I just love the hydraulic shoot controls which operates on the loader joy stick and so easy to use. I also added a soft cab the next year and now I am at my glory.
The pic on my avatar shows it.

After 10 years of sore necks with the rear blower, I made the expensive switch to the front blower this year.

Went with the Sheyenne front blower and a rear blade. Just need some snow.

Nice, a couple of question's, it looks like it's hydraulically run. What is the flow rate of your tractor and what did this cost you?

It's beautiful and functional. :thumbsup: I'm jealous, my JD4300 has rear blower and no cab.

Yes I love that front blower that is attached to the loader. Easier to take off than mine and maybe not. My blower is pretty easy to take off but the under carriage quick attach is a ***** to install with one person comes off ok.

I priced a similar one for my Kioti DK40. I would have had to install a PTO pump, cost if I remember right was around $10K! NOT in my budget for using 4 times a year.

DK 40 is a **** of bit bigger than CK30 lol.
If I remember my snow blower SB 66, undercarriage quick connect and mid pto cost me around 5500.00 CDA installed on the tractor. I have looked around and they sell for about 7-9 grand just the blower not quick connect of mid pto. So I got a heck of a deal and lucky for me it was 3 day before Xmas when I made the deal and the tractor was delivered on the 28th so that was pretty fast. Best Xmas gift ever bought myself.
