520hC-120 136 #1 Posted January 8, 2018 I have a plow on my 520 but I find that it makes a bigger and bigger pile til my tractor spins out, if I got a snowblower front attachment it would just throw the snow somewhere else where it won’t get me stuck Any input would be great, Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WVHillbilly520H 10,369 #2 Posted January 8, 2018 , anything under 4" the snowthrower(single stage) is kind of a waste, but anything above yep it'll throw it out of your way for the next event, but since you have 2 tractors keep a plow on 1 and thrower/blower(2stage) for the other, then you're good from 1" to 2' of snow, Jeff. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wallfish 15,907 #4 Posted January 8, 2018 Either way you go it sounds like you could benefit from adding more weight and tire chains. I also use 1 tractor with a snow plow and one with a blower. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

roadapples 6,981 #7 Posted January 9, 2018 I have a gravel driveway and we both have 4 wheel drive. If it isn't deep enough for the blower, it's up to nature... 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jay bee 817 #9 Posted January 9, 2018 I have a '76 B-100 that is my original and my go to machine. I live in SW Michigan and we get a lot of snow. I used a plow for the first 20 years and loved it. Then I bought a used single stage blower. What a difference!!! I would never go back to the plow. If it's only 1-4 inches, it goes real quick. If it's 8-10 inches it takes a little longer but it's still gone. It will throw snow 15-20 feet, no problem. I've got two other Horses ('78 C-141 and '83 C-145) but they just sit in the garage and watch the B-100 do it's job. My vote goes to the blower!!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SylvanLakeWH 24,087 #10 Posted January 9, 2018 I am one of the few "single " guys so... my take is wee bit different... I am cheap - very cheap...So I go with what my C-105 came with for free - A plow blade... It works way faster than my two stage blower and is way more fun!!! After all - If I need to spend a bit of time finding places to put the snow - what is the problem? IMHO More seat time is not a problem... 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
