Looking to get a snowblower for the back of the 4020. Any suggestions on a make of snowblower? Things to avoid?

Thanks Travis
 
If your tractor is a syncro trans and you get deep snow or wet snow I would say don't. The reverse is to fast on a gear tractor. If you have a powershift you will get along fine or if you mainly have lighter dry snow a gear tractor is ok. Tom
 
Yes, it's interesting to note a 4020 PS moves slower in "reverse" than in "first" (1.7 vs. 2.0), while the synchro version moves a LOT faster in "reverse" than in "first" (3.2 vs. 2.1).

I have a 4020 PS with a front-mount 7.5' snowblower.

PS "first" is about 2.0 MPH (depending on tire size), and with over a few inches of snow, there's a lot of "slipping the clutch" needed for the first pass/taking a full cut. So far, the PS has tolerated this.

Your sychro moves about 3.2 MPH in the slowest reverse and has a "dry" clutch, which will only tolerate so much "slpping".

While there's certainly a LOT of 4020's out there with rear-mount snowblowers, it's FAR from an idea situation.
 
8 1/2' Loranze behind a 4020 powershift was never a problem, other than not enough horsepower. Went to 4455 Quad but was on the clutch in deeper snow. Switched to 1000 pto and now using 180 - 200 hp Deere. Put in-line restrictors on the hyd cylinder that rotates the chute, otherwise operates too fast. Haven't used it for two years now. Really decent winters.
 
One on the front is by far a better way to go,,but a bit more cost getting the power up to the front, Most tractor transmissions are not made to go backwards for extended duty,,plus the tires are wrong for traction and to add to all that your neck is going the wrong way too...
 
My 3020 Synchro works OK w/ 3rd reverse, but I'd rather have a way to go about half as fast. I use an IH-80 snowblower on mine.
