Why a rear pull-type snow blower?
The obvious answer is that you don’t have to drive backwards, which is literally a pain in the neck, but also is not a very safe way to operate equipment. While being more economical than a front mounted snow blower the RP (rear pull) still allows you to drive forward while giving you the option to leave the front loader on the tractor if so desired. The blower lifts very high with the 3-point, so when a very deep drift is encountered, the tractor can be turned around and backed into the drift to drag it out. Also, it can be used on older model tractors without ‘live’ PTO because you can clear the snow out of the chute before stopping the tractor by simply raising the 3-point. The new RP series is a 2-stage blower, so it gathers snow just like the backups. This eliminates the main problem of the old single stage pull-type blower, which bridged snow across the front of the blower, preventing it from feeding into the fan.
