Well finally pulled the trigger on a XR3135HC. Loaded tires, radio and adding bucket hooks. Also will be getting a Puma 64 snowblower which they are converting to be loader mounted. Will post some pictures when it comes in.

Thanks for all the info that is posted here. This has been a 2 year project.

Congrats on ordering your new tractor.
I believe your tractor is 66" wide.
Won't the puma 64 be a little narrow?
Is the dealer going to add wings to the blower?
How is the dealer converting a 3 pt blower to front mount?
Please let us know.

I really tossed the size of the blower around for a long time. The dealer has been putting Lynx 62 blowers on the front of these with good results. I wanted something wider and was going to get the Lynx 70. At the last minute I decided I really wanted the little extra durability of the Puma so I sacrificed a few inces to get it.

The dealer is taking off the 3-pt mounts and putting on a quick attach plate, along with a hyd motor on the blower. Putting an aux hyd tank on the 3-pt hitch and a rear PTO driven pump. He will run all the hoses under the tractor, including lines for the hydraulic chute and deflector.

Here are pictures I took last year of a blower they had sitting there. Its missing the hyd cylinder for the chute, but you can see how they convert the mount. This was a Lynx.

Pronovost makes some nice strong stuff up in Canada. They also used to make back hoes. I have one of there's mine is a Hardy, Pronovost bought out Hardy some years ago. They then labeled the back hoes under the Puma name, but it appears they have stopped making them and loaders.
