Sorry- I don't have any direct experience, but my instinct says that the 6100 won't power that big a snowblower, unless it is with a light snow. My dad has a 6 foot for his Ford 3910, and it takes all 50 horses to blow a deep snow. I could be wrong, of course- hopefully someone with firsthand experience will chime in.
I did have a friend with a 20 something horsepower Dragon tractor, and it wouldn't run a 5 foot blower- but, then again, it wasn't much of a tractor.

I have a 4' on a B7100 16hp & the tractor wouldn't handle anything any larger. Also, my blower (old Bervac, made in Canada) has only 3 blades on the fan (2nd stage) & works terrible at 540 RPM PTO. It works really well at 750 RPM (or whatever the 2nd PTO speed is). I run the tractor in Lo range & Reverse speed is good for most drifts & I use 3rd gear Lo for going ahead.
good to know, I didn't want a huge blower anyway as my main driveway is plowed by a contractor. small is better for around the cars, doing pathways etc. the guy was out to lunch on pricing anyway at $1200 for a rusty pos.
