Hi I am new to this Forum but really appreciate reading your expert comments on these machines. I recently purchased a 10 year old L3710 HST 4WD and am looking for a used front mount snowblower. I think the model number of the blower for this tractor is L2052-1.. My tractor has a Bush Hog Front End Loader (2246 QT) which I will need to remove when I use the snow blower in the winter. (If someone has a good used L2052-1 and would like to get rid of it, please let me know.) If you are familiar with this type of snow blower & drive system, and could answer any of the following questions I would like to hear from you.
1. I think these units operate from a mid-mounted PTO, which bolts to the transmission somewhere. L2051 is one possible PTO. Are these difficult to install on the transmission case?
2. Do you need to drain some or all of the oil to install the PTO?
3. Are front mount snow-blowers on L-sized tractors difficult to remove or install at the end/beginning of the snow season?
Again, any other comments or advice would be appeciated. Thanks -
