Totally agree with your comments. It will be used for a second property so whatever tractor I end up with, it will live a relatively easy life, snow blowing and mowing. It won't do any heavy lifting and won't need a backhoe or any other implements. If I do need more tractor at any point I could...

Deep snow is one of my concerns. If it's anything like the storm we are getting now, we are expecting 18-24", a lot more than the ground clearance of my tractor. However, it is light snow so I don't think there would be a problem driving through it. Tractor also has chains. Getting that much wet...

Yes, cab tractor. Most of what I would be doing is straight, but a good point to consider.

Thinking of getting one. I like the idea of being able to leave the loader on and being able to drive forward when snow blowing. But... am I missing something?

Just wanted to follow up with what my future tractor may very well be. Been searching for several weeks now for a cab tractor with a snowblower and didn't come up with much. I eliminated JD because they didn't have the loader SSQA and also other brands such as TYM. Some of you may disagree with...

Well, I'm up here at the other property, and moved a lot of heavy wet snow, and damn it rained on top of a lot of snow! After using my L5740 to clean up this mess I think I have determined what I would require. So, to narrow down decisions, I am looking to going with an L33-42 series tractor or...

Thank you for your inputs. I plowed and snowblowed many decades backwards without a cab and could do it again, but I really don't want to! What model was your NH, and why did you go to the BX, was it snow removal related? What did you have for tires on the NH and now with the BX, and what type...

That could work!

Thanks for this info. I was also concerned about available traction with such a light tractor. This tractor has turf tires which should have better traction than the R4 tires on my L. Sounds like it could work, but with limitations.

Without trying one I would not know how well it will handle it. I don't know how much PTO torque this machine has. I have no need to plow fast, so speed is not an issue. I'm more concerned about the snowblower limitations of a 22HP tractor taking a 3/4 to full bite of snow at a time.

Came across a B2301 with snowblower which would have mostly everything I need except a mower. But it's only 22HP. Doesn't say how big the snowblower is but I'm guessing 4-5' wide. Is this too much for moving 1-2 feet of snow? From all your previous recommendations, this may be a bit small for my...

Yes, a cab without AC is a big concern. I wonder how others with aftermarket cabs deal with this...

Came across a B7800 with heated after market cab, loader and rear blade, tire chains on all wheels, 812 hrs, power steering, block heater. Asking $15,000. Any opinions on this? Does not have SSQC, but could this be added?

More good questions. Replies above.
