I have a 84 inch 3pt rear pull blower on JD 4020 and it works great. I have used the rear pull type for over 15 years. As long as the tractor can drive through the snow you can blow it. I have blown snow deep enough with snow going over the front axle. On a very rare ocasions I have had to back into a drift but it averages only one or two times a season. So it averages to less than 10 min per season. I only own 2wd tractors and the tires are not loaded. The only thing posibly better than the rear pull is a front mount but I would prefer to have it on a 4wd as the blower weight is out front. They also cost a fair bit more $$. I have used the backup type before and hope never to have to again. Twisting around all the time to see where you need to blow is no fun !!! About the main thing these are good for is moving snowbanks or real small straight drives. Using a snowblower to start with eliminates 99% of the snowbank problems. The rear mount blowers cost the least but are harder on the operator to use. I paid a little extra and got the rear pull and am glad I did. My back and neck feel a lot better after spending 2 hours blowing snow. I do my own place and a couple neighbors. One other item that is very nice to have is a cab or at least a heat houser.The 2 stage type blowers are the best for wet heavy snow as the auger feeds it into the blower fan. I would look into geting a rear pull or a front mount blower.
