Yea, that sounds about right. I can't see getting 3+ acres per hour out of it unless you're not concnerned with cut quality. I think 1.75 to 2 acres per hour would be a reasoanable range. Still more productive than our zero turn so we can obtain cost efficiencies, but we won't be selling ourself...

Tha Thank you for the insight, it is much appreciated! I think I will use a rough production rate of 2 acres per hour using a 60" deck, and maybe 2.5 acres per hour if I run a 72" deck.

Makes sense, thanks for the insight!

Sorry for the late reply. So this is to say you were getting about 4-5 acres per hour of production out of it? I was only getting 1 to maybe 1.5 out of my zero turn.

Thank you for the insight! We currently use a Multiforce as our zero turn. With a 54" deck I can usually get about 1.25 acres per per hour if I had to guess. I would have thought even a 60" deck on an F Series much less a 72" deck would be closer to 1.5-2 acres per hour. Are your estimates...

Hello, I have a lawn maintenance company, and we are looking at bidding on some of the school board contracts, which are predominantly open fields ranging from 1 to 3 acres in size. I am considering purchasing an F2690 front mount mower, if we are awarded the contract. I am curious if anyone...

Cool, thanks!

Thank you for the detailed insight!

Yes very true, I may have to factor into my pricing needing to trailer the unit around more frequently when snowfalls are above 8 inches or so.

Thanks for the insight! I would definitely be looking into a Defender (I actually used to work at a BRP dealership), but I am definitely wanting a snow blower over a blade, and not sure the blower you can put on Defenders would be powerful enough.

Is it pretty good on ice with chains? I feel like chains would be a relatively inexpensive option to improve ice traction. It seems I won't have much look in more than 12 inches, I am considering adding a 2 inch lift and putting some 27 inch tires on it that are good for the winter.

Makes sense!

That is my concern for sure. With the PTO shaft on the blower, it has about 5 inches of clearance (9 or so without it). Chains I think would help, but of course would be a bandaid fix for going high centre. Would definitely want to minimize how deep it gets before starting, but am handicapped...

When you say pushing snow, do you mean snow building up in front of and under the unit, resulting in the unit pushing snow? That is my concern when driving, I am wondering if it can get through 8-12+ inches without doing that. I wouldn't be plowing, I would have the blower attachment, and am not...

Hey all! I am looking to purchase a piece of snow removal equipment for my business this season (residential and small commercial application). I am intrigued by the Kubota RTV1100 with the snowblower on the front, as I like the idea of being able to carry a passenger so one person can do...
