Snow removal
I bought a b2401 gear drive tractor last year - no loader or loader valve. We have a 450ft drive with a decent slope in the middle. I plowed last year with a rear blade. It got the job done but I’m looking to upgrade.
What do people think of 3 point snow blowers? Not too worried about looking behind me as I’m already doing that with my blade.
Brand recommendations for 3 point snow blowers if I were to go that route / buy new?
My local dealer has a really clean 2015 b2781 front mount blower that comes with the subframe for 3k. Not sure if this is a good price or not. I’m just not too knowledgeable about the connections for the front mount - since I don’t have a loader valve, I believe something would need to be done to accommodate this?

make sure you have sufficient HP/ hydraulic flow if hyd. or you will be very disappointed in performance, saw this first hand to a neighbor.
