I have the PUMA 64" 3pt snowblower. Bought it from local Mahindra dealer with my tractor (2615). Blower was under $1500. I use mine on 2 runner crush driveways by setting the shoes so the cutting edge is up about 3/4" off my garage floor. Haven't picked up a stone yet. I also made my own cab from angle and plexiglass for under $500. from Home Depot to keep the wind blown snow off me. It is a little hassle driving backwards sitting side saddle. As far as using a blade, I adapted an used 7 1/2' truck blade to my bucket with a turnbuckle on each side and a $15.00 come-along centered and straight blade the driveways when the snow isn't too bad. Takes about 10 min. to take on or off the bucket.

Paul M, You will probably have to pull the driveshaft off the tractor and look closely. I had the same thing happen on my PUMA 64 blower. First of all, I bought mine from the dealer with my tractor (2615) I didn't get 10" into the first snow and broke a shear pin. To make a long story short I broke 4 shear pins within 100', mine came with the wrong shear pins from the factory and I was replacing them with the same grade as what came out. The grade hardness was too low. I E-mailed the mfg. and told them the problem, They E-mailed back with the proper size and grade hardness info. Have not had a break since. I think your pin may have sheared and when the shaft continued to turn it smoothed off the broken pin which is probably still in the hole and you can't see it. Hope this helps.
