Not from the factory you don't! That's about a
100 hp tractor. Wheels are too wide to get a 6'
blower behind it any way.

When I tried to get good answers to this, no
one would tell me. see, it depends on the type
of snow, and the speed of your tractor (in
reverse).

I ended up with a smaller 2-stage 7' blower. It
says on theblower it is rated for 40-60 hp
tractors.

So, I would expect your 30 hp would run a 6' if:

You don't have really deep heavy wet snow;
you have live pto (really need that for blowing
snow), and your tractor has a fairly slow
reverse gear.

My friend has a super-size jumbo blower on
his Oliver 880. he says he never broke
anything on the blower - kills off the tractor
before it breaks something. I guess that's one
way to look at it. I run my blower with an 85hp
tractor, and have to be careful of the shear
pins...
