Does anyone out there have some experience with PTO driven snow blowers, and what HP it takes to operater them. I am looking at a 7 foot, two stage 3pt Blower to run behind by MF165. In talking to the local equipment dealers I get widely conflicting statements, anywhere from "..yea, thats plenty." to "..You need at least a 100hp for a 7foot blower.

I have run a two stage 5'6" 3pt blower on a Ferguson TO-30 wich is about 29hp. I have a friend with a MF-65 diesel that has a 7' two stage blower and that turns it without any problems. That tractor is about 50hp. You need to have a slow reverse no matter how much horsepower you have, otherwise the snow will pile up behind the blower and you'll be pushing it. You will have no problem at all with a 7' on your 165. Believe me you'll never go back to pushing snow around with a blade after you used a snowblower. Have fun. Ivan Pavlovich from Duluth MN

 Re: Oil Leak/ Oil Pressure Too High? in reply to John Miller, III, 12-15-1999 09:25:04  
i believe both problems are cold temperature related. there is not enough pressure in the crankcase to "blow" the seal. the rubber in the seals become hard when there cold. the oil also becomes thick. you might try and an oil additive that softens the seals as a quick fix until spring. also check the crankcase vent tube is not plugged. i had a vent tube plugged once and when the tractor started it blew the dipstick about ten feet. the high pressure problem sounds like the oil its self. i think by changing the oil to a 5w-30w high detergent and filter should cure the problem. these problems are not just "perkins" but for all engines, gasoline and deisel. don't forget about the "ghosts" like gasoline getting into the oil for your #1 problem via the fuel pump or a down draft carb. roy from victoria texas.
