You should not have aproblem running the snowblower with a 400. I have been using a 7 foot Erskine blower on a Super M with 3 pt. hitch for years. I run the Super about half throttle to keep the speed slow in reverse and it has been able to handle any thing the NY winters can dish out.

Years ago the airport here had a 7' blower on a 666 gas tractor. It was too much for the tractor if the snow was more than a few inches deep, unless you took small passes. Later we used a large JD ( I forget the number) and it handled it fine, but reverse was way to fast. They finally bought a 95 hp JD with power shift, and it works great. Reverse is slow and the power is balanced to what the blower takes.

Assuming the tractor engine is solid, you should have enough power. Two things to consider: 1. How SLOW can you back up? In deep or heavy snow being able to creep backwards is essential unless you have a lot more HP than your 400.
2. It seems like this could be a heavy load on the back, so front weights may be needed. However, traction could also be an issue if you really load the front.
