First time ever considering a tractor. Looking at primary using the tractor for snow blowing. Will be using the tractor in the heart of the snow belt in the lower peninsula of Michigan. Storms can be decent so up to a foot or 2 but 2 feet being pretty rare. I have basically pulled the trigger of a 2026 LX4020 with the commercial front snow blower. I also added the Box scraper to maintain my gravel drive. I have watched many videos of 2610’s blowing pretty decent snow and am thinking the 4020 is a good choice for long term. I don’t want to have regrets in a few years that I am under powered. Is this a good choice?

It’s a cab opinion as well which I think is abvious. I was set on a L6070 and then reality and price hit me. The 6070 is great but it’s bigger and will take up more room in the barn which is losing space by the second. 40 horse seems like a lot of power and will be plenty in the future

Forgot to add "Welcome to OTT"!! Lots of good info and people ready to help spend your money with the advice given!! :ROFLMAO:

Your 40HP tractor would be like my B2650 on mega steroids!! Yet my B2650 and rear blower has never met a hard snowdrift that it didn't like to send flying here in our North Dakota winters. I don't know if you'd ever get hard packed drifts in your location, but with the HP you have....you should be able to send that snowfall pretty near outta sight!!

And you'll have all summer and fall to get acquainted with its safe operation and techniques of using it efficiently. Be sure you understand the manual and follow the safe operating procedures. If you have questions.... someone on here will be sure to give you sound advice.

Post some pics of your new "Mechanical Steed"!! Please!!
