What size is that, 60", 72"? I'm not familiar enough with the 2601 to gauge the width. I know you New Yorkers get some wild snow falls.
The HLA 1500 I have is a 60"er, fits the B2601 good and pushes a heap of snow.

Is your driveway gravel? Then the box blade will not only work for snow clearing, but for driveway maintenance in summer, too. It can gather and move way more snow than a FEL, acts as a great ballast on back, and can scraper its way through ice. It stays on my tractor (B2650) all year when backhoe or chipper aren't needed. But I also have the 63" front mount snowblower for our Manitoba Canada winters. Yet the blower doesn't do as well in early or late season wet snow events, I go with BB and FEL to clear that shit.

Looks like its a good size for that machine.
