NorthEastHomestead 10 #1 Posted September 23, 2020 I have recently been offered a generic snow blower attachment for riding mowers. Do wheel horse tractors and mowers require brand specific snowblowers? Or can any attachment fit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,309 #2 Posted September 23, 2020 Welcome to Redsquare from a fellow Mainer!! Generally speaking they are brand specific but as the old line of thinking goes you can make anything work with a welder... Can you post pics of what it is that you're looking at?

We can keep an eye open for you. If you find a really serious streak of ambition and you want a project, I have enough parts myself to put at least two together. Maybe even more...

I am also in Maine so that would work out, at the moment I'm happy with my 440, but I wouldn't mind an older machine. Something I can do a little more with. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not at all sure what you would need to do or if you could get that to work on a Horse at all.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My biggest concern is mounting the actual snow blower to the front of the mower. Because it seems as though the piece that mounts where my mowing deck is now would work. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
