Looking for Looking: Implement for Snow Clearing with B7100

[JerryC999]

I have about 1600 feet of driveway to clear this winter (if there is enough snow). I have a B7100. What would be the right implement? Front blade? Rear scraper blade? A front loader would be great, but way expensive. But I sure would consider one. We are in KY.

For the amount of snow you get just buy a rear blade.

To add to Wolfman's comments, make sure it's a blade which you can angle to push the snow to the side. Even better if it's a double-angle blade so you can offset it to one side of the tractor so your rear wheel is outside the windrow of snow.

Well, that is all good news, actually. Rear blades are much easier to come by, and cheaper. If that will do for 90% of the time, I will go looking. Thanks for the advice.
