Does anyone have a a snowblower on the front of your tractor? Or better on a compact tractor? Is it problematic? Do they work good?
I do not have one....but have seen plenty of them operate and have had discussions with the owners. Set up correctly they are a great way to plow snow......expecially on a compact tractor. My SIL has a John Deere Compact tractor with a front mounted blower. He has turf tires and a dedicated mount (not the loader). He loves that set up. I've not heard anyone that was dissatisfied with a decent set up. If I spend my winters in MN....I would likely have one on my Kubota Grand L3560.Does anyone have a a snowblower on the front of your tractor? Or better on a compact tractor? Is it problematic?

Thanks Foggy!
I have a LX2610 Kubota, 26HP, I do have ps, and a front pto, loader, and I also have 3rd function.
Anyone have recommendation on brand or models for a compact tractor? I have looked at Land pride, but if I order now, I should have it by next Christmas, maybe.
Looks like Kubota makes a front blower for that tractor. Somewhat pricey like anything nowadays I guess. I have a front blower on my 1025R JD. You can’t beat them. Much better than a rear pto mount and a lot faster in my opinion. It will throw snow a long ways if powder but as with any blower if you get wet heavy slush your going to have problems. I can always put the back blade on to push slush but I’ve found it just as effective to turn the blower off and just plow with it. In this area you only get slush for the first couple and last couple snows of the year. That leaves the other 5 months with normal snow to blow. LOL.Thanks Foggy!

Chili is not far from me. My 40 when I owned it was even closer. Was that listing from Chili Implement? I haven't dealt with them but do hear good things about them.I do see a snow blower in Wisconsin on Tractor House.....it's located at Chili Wi. Not sure where that is? nearby?
I’m $500+ into plow service expenses for my house in town already this winter and have the extra stress of trying to prevent them from jacking up our landscaping every year. Maybe it’s cheaper in the sticks or I should shop around again..For that price you could pay someone to do snow removal for you for many many years While you watch with a cup of coffee.
And 10 years from now you will have paid twice as much for snow services as the blower costs today.......and now the blower will cost twice as much than it costs today. And you will wonder when the prices will come down. Ask me how I know these things. LOL. Just saying. (disclosure.....I pay for most of my snow removal in MN.....but then I am in AZ for most winters).I’m $500+ into plow service expenses for my house in town already this winter and have the extra stress of trying to prevent them from jacking up our landscaping every year.

This thread had me thinking about one for my kubota but I think it would cost me even more on my tractor than $7800.
