Just stumbled on this whilst surfing. Talk about effeciency! Not really "compact Tractor" sized but well worth a gander.

scroll halfway down the page and see the video:

I bet that is one EXPENSIVE blower. Sweet design regardless. Makes me wish for a big machine to play with. I'd be happy and a simple 3PT blower at this point. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

This drool can't possibly be good for my keyboard.

Oh man that is cool! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif I have a Puma which is great, but that scaper blade set-up is just awesome! Somebody was really thinking on that one.
The one thing I really envy is that guys rear facing operating position. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

For those that are curious...

That yellow tractor in the video is a New Holland TV145 "Bidirectional Tractor". It is 105 PTO HP, 4WD, has articulated steering, has a fully hydrostatic transmission, and most uniquely actually has an operator station inside the cab that turns 180 degrees so the operator can face either the "cab end" (back) or "engine end" (front) of the tractor. Since the transmission is hydrostatic, it goes just as good forward or backward.

Any way, the TV145 is a pretty cool and unique tractor. Here are a couple links to it at New Holland's website:

And, oh by the way, the cost for the TV145 (alone!) is in the $150,000 (USD) range!

The person operating that tractor in the video is talented! I was amazed at how close he gets to things with that implement! Not to mention how he rotates the blower chute in conjunction with two other operating tasks!
