Pros and cons of snow removal options

That lo

Inverted Snowblower. No looking back!

That looks cool. Don’t think my 1880 would pull that heavy beast. If I get another tractor, a B would be on my list. Maybe a L.

That brand is Farm King. Landpride makes a 64" inverted 20-55 HP which may also be too large.
Wifo equipment makes a wide range of inverted blowers as small as 46 inch, 10-20 HP.

Inverted blowers generally tend to require a larger tractor per inch of snowblower as opposed to a unit that one pushes into the snow, either front mounted or traditional rear-mounted. If the snow is wet and sticky the tires compact it into two humps of near-ice material that's hard to remove. Plus you still have to look back to make sure your snow discharge is going in a safe direction.

For BX and B-series tractors the front-mounted blower is king of the hill. I have three of them and will never go back. (Pun intended!)

I have had absolutely no humps left behind. The weight of the blower following cleans it right down.
