What is good width of snowblower for rear of my 3400Ford 3cyl diesel. Do you need to load tires as I also use front loader for moving snow? Thanks

If you leave the snowblower on when using the front-end loader, it makes a great counterweight. Another good option for pushing snow with the loader is a bale fork and a bale on the 3ph. Doesn't cost anything, and if you're clearing a path to the cow yard, you intended to feed the cow anyway, right?

I don't have any experience firsthand, but i have always heard it takes 1 hp per inch of width.

Steve , you will find that the weight of your loader will significantly take away your traction. I used to blow snow with our loader tractor and constantly had traction problems and was getting stuck. I switched tractors and the difference in traction is incredible. Loaded rears or wheel weights will make a big difference. Also some guys around here switch their rear tires from side to side so that their best traction is in reverse and with rear mounted blowers it works really well. I use a 6 foot Lucknow blower on a 52 horse tractor and it handles it well but if we have a big storm and lots of hard packed drifts I've seen the tractor pretty well on its knees and you have to clutch it until it catches up with the drifts. A 5 1\2 or 6 foot blower would be a good load for your tractor. Good luck from Mike in Exeter Ontario(in the Snowbelt area of Ontario)
