Fun Engineer 859 #30 Posted December 29, 2016 I'd stay with the 42" blade Howard. A 48" will stack too much snow in front of it and cause the front end to slide to one side when you have the blade angled. 42" is good for the 8 hp Kohler on the 857. Wheel weights and chains should be all you need. 😉 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
