Purchased old farm in RI and there was a TO 30 in the barn. Seized engine. In the process of having it rebuilt. Can I attach a snow plow? If so, how?

Hi Carl,
I am opting for a blower instead. I do have a blade but the driveway gets narrower all winter if you do it that way. If you go for a so-called V-type (pull-behind) blower, you can get the snow well out of the way. People will argue that you need a live pto (keeps running even when the clutch is depressed) but I grew up in a snow belt with a blower on a TEA20 and it always worked quite well (maybe because I didn't know the difference!).

Also, they attach easily to the regular 3 point hitch, whereas a plough (if you mean a front plough rather than a rear blade) may end up being quite a contraption.
Having said all that a blade is very useful for all kinds of other stuff.

Where did you find a vee type pull behind snow blower? I have been looking for one for years and haven't found one in the Wisconsin area. Enjoy yours.

In fact I sold my front end loader and bought a V-type blower just today. It was the third one I had looked at in a couple of weeks. The first is still at the end of a driveway with a for sale sign, the second is out back at a long-established MF dealer, and this one appeared in my local weekly paper. It is reversible (as is the one at the MF dealer; same model) so that you can unbolt the 3 pt assembly and put in on the other way, if you prefer to back into the snow. Try snooping around the back of some old tractor dealers, ask the local old boys, etc...I bet in your neck of the woods they're still around - you do have snow in Wisconsin eh?

If you haven't got miles of driveway you can get away with a 3 pt back blade. It isn't the most comfortable long term though but its simple and requires no modifications to speak of. I use a 7' which still gives me tractor width when angled of 5'. You will need chains to get much done and its a must on blacktop for 6" + of snow. These things aren't real powerhouses in reverse in my experience unless you can slow things down or speed them up with a 2 speed rear end. I try to do as much as possible going forward. This year I will load my tires with antifreeze for the first time and see if it helps much.
