Nice job. I used to use my 860 for snowblower duty. It did the job, but reverse is just a tad too fast if the snow isnt light and fluffy. 9 inches of snow is about what I got hear near Traverse City, MI.

The reverse gear in the 860 is too fast some of the time. It's the only tractor I've had for the last 30 years so I am used to it. The wife keeps telling me I should get a newer tractor with a front mount blower but I'm afraid that would cut down on my seat time.

Sometimes our wives have good ideas lol. My wife was the same way and I finally caved in and now clean the drive and yard with a front mount snowblower on a tractor with a cab and heat as well. Just get a smaller tractor with a front blower smaller than your current rear blower, seat time problem solved! I kept my 860 and rear blower as a just in case "backup". The 860 does a much better job of discing the garden in the spring also.
