Picked up this blower for my trip to the cabin this week. Cabin property had 30” of snow from a big storm a week and half ago. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to get up the 800’ steep driveway but it all melted. Ready for the next one.
New (to me) snow blower

That looks like a healthy blower for your tractor!! 
And that's quite a nice lineup of implements in the background too!! Very NICE!
And that's quite a nice lineup of implements in the background too!! Very NICE!I just bought the very same one! I put it through its paces this morning after a 5 inch dump. I’m still trying to figure out the best system for me...i find it almost quicker to take a zip up and down the drive with the rear blade to open it up - and then take the blower to blow back the banks, etc.
Finally got to use this thing. The tractor is at my cabin property so I am not here all the time to deal with the snow. We arrived and there was 6-8 inches on the steep 800’ driveway, then yesterday we got another 5” so I waited until it was all done to test it out. It worked great. Bit of a pain in the ass to look over your shoulder but that was expected. I found that sitting a bit sideways in the seat and using my left foot to operate the pedal was much more comfortable.
You could add a "clamp on" extension to the top of the ROPS that would hold a wide horizontal mirror just above and in front of you as you sit normally in the seat. Make the mirror mount adjustable so you can tilt it slightly upwards or downwards to view the back end of the blower. You'd be surprised how well that works in removing 99% of the "looking over the shoulder" hassle!!
