I live in WY where the winds can get pretty brutal & the snow drifts like crazy. I am tired of using the loader on my 706 to move the snow & 10 minutes later, the path is filled in! How well would a blower work on the back of the 706? What would be a good size to get & what makes are recommended? Thanks.

Can be hard on a clutch, but works better than a blade.

A 1970's New Idea, two auger, seven foot wide, would be a good one. Have used the same one since new on a 766 and a 1086 and it is still going strong. The 1086 has too much power for it, so I take it alittle easy in the big drifts that the dual hubs rub, but it can really blow snow. If your 706 has no cab like our 766 and you can't blow the snow with the wind you end up looking like a snowman sitting on the tractor. Also it seems like blown snow doesn't make as big a pile as pushed snow, but after you blow it once and it's not where you want it, blow it again right away because if it sets for a day or so it gets hard and is hard to get into to blow again, just like a wind blown snow drift gets. If you get one e-mail me and I will tell you tips on how to make some improvements to it. RichH

Ran a 7 foot Arps on the back of my 706D worked great except for the fact it had a manual crank for the spout,I ate a lot of unflavored snow cones! You will need a working torque.

Not a lot of personal experience but seems to me that backing around blowing snow would get old real fast. If you have a loader frame why not put the blower up fromt where you can operate it the way you want? Yes you have to construct a drive shaft that reverses the direction of throw - but I bet you would like the results. My ickel Dick Davis
