After a winter for the record books which isn‘t over yet, I am beefing up my snow fighting equipment. Primarily I am concerned about removing snow at my mini-storage facility. This means clearing the entrance road, parking area and between rows of buildings. I have 5 acres here to deal with as well as my home which has a longish driveway. I am planning to purchase a front hydraulic SSQA mounted blade and a rear snow blower for my new Kubota L5460 hatch. I am thinking in some of my rows between buildings, I could blow the snow directly behind me, then re-blow it over the fence to the vacant lot. I know this can be done with the backward facing 3pt blower, but can you also accomplish the same thing with a pull behind blower? Has anyone tried that?
If you hit something with your ssqa blade like a pile of frozen ice and snow it
will damage your loader arms and that is something you cannot repair.
Your better off buying a small Degelman snow blade for your new tractor as
it can be hydraulically operated for left and right movement and lifting it.
You may be able to use thier quick attach kits for it as well.
Using a pull type blower would not work well and it would require a great deal
of manuevering and backing to do it even with a plow as you would be going
over it and packing it down while trying to blow it.
Buy a good rear mounted Canadian snow blower like a Pronovost PXPL-86 to do
all your snow removal and order it with the wheel kit so you can prevent it digging
into loose stone or grass.
The hydraulic scraper also removes any snow missed by the snow blowers cutting
edge by placing down pressure on the scraping blade while you are driving forward.
