After the big snow storm NY got 10 days ago I was worried I wouldn’t be able to get up my steep 800’ driveway to the cabin this week. A buddy was selling this 60†blower for a good price so I bought it. Wouldn’t you know all the snow melted. I have it for the next one.

I have a kubota with a few less PTO hp and was looking for a 50in. Let me know how this works for you...the power needed to blow snow is a very gray area it seams.

I am sure you know this, but make sure you have a good stash of shear pins for that thing!

If I was buying brand new I probably would have gone for a 50†but this one was about half what new costs and was barely used.

Just take two cuts if it's to big for your machine. Something a walk behind blower really cant do.
There is a brand farm king that's made here and the same price as all the rest of them. I called around to a few dif places and dif manufacturers. Half price of new..I would be buying that too.

I ended up finding a 60in woods brand blower. It's a quality built attachment. Blowing the very heavy and wet 3in of snow we got last night wasn't so easy with 16hp at the PTO. Medium gear was a bit to high and low was to slow and didnt really let the snow get to the auger very well. It only plugged up 1x though.

16 HP seams a bit underpowered. My 56 in Bercomac has a 22 HP Honda that only very rarely struggles even with the deepest heavy snows typical of early winter.

16hp at the pto. Its diesel HP so the 19hp engine should have more torque than a 22hp gas. It was not snowblower snow by any means I mostly snow blew it just to see what it could do. Driving on 3in of wet snow is not a problem with my flat gravel driveway.
