So after getting socked for the third time with a whole seasons worth of snow at one time, we have decided that it might be a wise investment into purchasing a snowblower for our 656, versus spending all day cleaning our half mile driveway of 30" of snow with the old TD-6 crawler and 1979 dodge snow commander plow truck.
I've started doing some research on whats out there for a rear mount, but I don't have any reviews on quality and function. Hoping someone on here may have some experience with some of the brands. I only came up with 2 near the HP range of our tractor near the width of it. Trying to be at least 90" cutting width
Erskine 925RM
Prunovost PUMA-94
HP ranges are really limiting me on what I could get. I think the PTO rating on a 656 Diesel is like 60+ new. When Dad got this tractor 30 years ago it had been dyno'd and pulled almost 90 turned up some. I'm sure its not doing that anymore.
I rather like the Erskine but it only has a manual rotation on the chute and a single auger. I'm not sure if it is an option or not for the hydraulic chute. They also offer a front mount version PTO of that same blower. I'm not sure if it would work on our tractor or not. I really like the idea of that though. I'll probably give them a call to get more information on those ones.
Does anyone else have other recommendations. I've came up with a Woods SS96-2 in my internet search. Its HP range is 80-150. I think that might be a little much.
Is there much benefit to having dual augers?
Thanks for the help.
