[AT] What tractor for my snowblower?

[Mike Sloane]

Farmall 340 or International 340U - with working TA for low speed 
reverse and either three point hitch or Fast Hitch with 3-pt adapters.

But I will tell you that running a snow blower on the back of ANY 
tractor is a pain in the neck (pun intended). If you look at my 
Lancaster Farming listings, you will see a lot of three point 
snowblowers for sale, listed as "almost new". When I sold tractors and 
implements for a living, I sold one used three point blower and no new 
ones. We did sell a couple of new front mounted blowers, but they were 
expensive and were sold to wealthy people with very long driveways and 
installed on larger hydro tractors with cabs (and heat).
