This question is meant for those in the frozen North who deal with deep snow each year. We're having a pretty good storm here, probably 20" of snow but the wind is gusting past 50mph. We get drifts here in the 4-6' range on occasion. That being said, this is a 5 to 10 year storm for us.
My big tractor now is a Ford 7710 with a cab, ldr and 4wd. Have a 10' blade for the back, as well as a 8' snowblower. I need another tractor to put in front of the new round baler and I'm looking at old Ford TW-15's and 8630's, something around 120 HP at the PTO. Maybe something a little newer but I like mechanical stuff.
How would you folks up North setup a tractor like that if you had your druthers? Anyone ever adapt a PTO driven 3pt blower to the front?
Just looking for ideas here while waiting for the wind to die down.
Thanks.
