there is a snow blower up for auction, i plan on eventually getting a bigger tractor but not right now.

the L3301 has a HST so i can drive super slow ect...
would the L3301 be able to use the snow blower if driving at a snails pace and/or taking smaller cuts?

then later i could use it on a larger tractor in the future.

yeah.. maybe i should wait... last winter, we had 6ft deep snow drifts that showed up overnight. currently a 3/4 ton truck with plow, able to do at most 4 ft... but not sure if i bent the frame a bit last year :p

thus, looking for a snow blower for those rare days. just not in a position to buy a bigger tractor :(

That's going to be way to big for that tractor

Lucknow offers an 84" dual auger snow blower that weighs 1,195lb and requires a minimum of 70hp. That's their smallest/lightest double auger model so yeah, your 3301 might be a little on the small side. :LOL:

I was really lucky to find a Land Pride SB1574 on Craigslist last year for a great price. If I were buying new I would probably have gone for the SB2584 given that both the MX and M could handle the bigger blower. As it is, the SB1574 is rated for 30-60hp so both tractors are at the upper end of that range.
