When I posted 5 pto horsepower per lineal foot of blower width as the rule of thumb. I meant that as being able to remove snow in a timely manner, In reality, you can use any width of blower you want to so long as the 3ph can pick it up. Having said that, I for one don't want to spend a protracted amount of time removing snow, especially with an open station and freezing my tail off (not that I do because I have a cab unit), but snow removal for me isn't something I look forward to. I want to get it handled as quickly as possible and retire to the warm house.
Blowing or plowing snow for me ranks low on my list of 'to do' stuff.
Thanks for that clarification, 5030. I have a 54” blower on the rear of my Kubota BX25 with only 17.7 PTO HP. It runs great, casts the snow far, and I have only gotten the chute plugged once. So I seem to have more than enough PTO horsepower.
