tractor with snowthrower for steep driveway
Original Message   Nov 12, 2007 10:16 pm
Hi - I'm looking for advice on a tractor purchase with a snow thrower attachment. I have a long steep driveway: max incline is about 25 degrees, but probably average is about 10-15 degrees or so.  It's about 300 yards long and black-topped (smooth).

I was looking at getting a 26HP tractor with a 2 stage 46" snow thrower on the front, with chains/wheel weights and a sand spreader on the back.  But would that be enough power to be getting back up the driveway, even if I just used the thrower going downhill?  Any risk of it tipping at that angle?

Apologies if this is a basic question - I'm new to this business having just bought a new house.  I will also want to use the same tractor to do general yard work - mowing, vacuuming, etc.

Thanks in advance

James
