Hi, Guys, <br>
First time writer. I appreciate the access to knowledgeable people. I need advice for Kuboda tractor snow removal. I live in the northeast with an average snowfall of 50". We have a 400' gravel (1/2" stone) driveway as well as a small nursery. I have been considering a tractor primarily for snow removal and secondarily for light nursery work. <br>
My questions are: <br>
1) What size tractor do I need to handle a typical 5 - 10" storm? I've been considering the B2620 but don't know if 26HP is enough power. <br>
2) I've been planning to use a blade since I have plenty of room to push snow, but should I be considering a snow blower? Lots of trees and debris so I don't want to be changing shear pins all the time.<br>
3) Would I need chains if I'm using R-4s on this surface?<br>
4) I can change oil, etc., but am not highly mechanical so easy attachment changes & general ease of operation are considerations for me. I read that the 2620 did not have a quick change capability and I definitely want to swap over to a FEL several times a year. Any thoughts on this?<br>
5) Would you suggest a block heater?<br>
<br>
Any advice on these topics would be greatly appreciated. I have many friends with regular truck plows so I'm not looking to do the occasional heavy 12" storm--I'll call in one of my favors for that! <br>
Thanks, Chuck
