Have a new to me 2005 Kubota L4330 HSTC. Do I have enough tractor for a 7 foot snowblower? Auction nearby soon with a Rad Tech 7 foot blower with hydraulic chute adjustment, wondering if I should go and bid? Thanks.

As I recall some place the rule of thumb was 5 Hp per foot of attatchment though i could be wrong. Heres your specs on your tractor http://www.everythingattachments.com/Kubota-L4330-Attachments-Specs-s/3992.htm
You should have 36Hp at the PTO so based on that 5x7=35 so yeah you would but you would be right at max Hp all the time.
Just remember just because it can/may handle it, doesnt mean that you should try to handle it. For my money a 6 footer would be the way to go but Im sure otheres will chime in,,

7 footer on a tractor that size and HP rating will work it hard, real hard.
I too would be in the 60" range.

Once you have made your first pass you have the option to take a big a bite as the tractor can handle easily.
If the price is real good I would go for it.
