Looking into getting a snowblower, hopefully just to leave in the shed 9 years out of 10, but haven't run one for 20 years since grandpa had one and to be honest, don't remember the brand, do remember needing a rear wiper on the 4620.
Looking for advice from someone who has had or run several diffrent kinds.
I am looking at having it on the back of a JD 4440, running 175hp or better. Powershift tranny which I think will be better as seems like reverse gears are slower than a quad.
I like to go fast, looking at opening roads, what do I need to get??
I have seen 2 stages that look decent, but had one guy tell me most are only for 60-80 hp tractors and like to shear shear bolts when pushed at all
There are some really agressive looking single stage blowers that look mean and have 2 spouts, but are well over 10,000 new, which is way over what I want to spend, and I haven't seen any used ones.
Also, would 1000rpm be better than 540, or do they just make a change in the gearbox so the blower turns the same regardless?
Plan B would be to put one on a skidloader, but pretty sure that would be a joke for roads, anyone use one? Probably have to be a high flow machine to do anything?

I remember when I was a kid my dad sometimes would tuck my brother and I in at night and we would ask him questions about his childhood on the farm. To this day, it's some of the best stories I've ever heard. And now, I'm so glad that I asked those questions, and if I were a little smarter i
