Holder style tractor

[seventy7folks]

I plow long, rural driveways with very limited parking in a heavy snow area. Snow storage is an issue.Now Im very much considering a Holder C9.xxH tractor with a front blower for better service than plowing (or skid steer/blower). Though I'm thinking if speed and efficiency could be an issue especially coming from a plow. Anybody here transitioned to Holder blowers for jobs like this?

Switched from plow to a holder with a front blower, and its been 100% worth it. Slower than plowing, sure, but way better for tight drives and snow storage. No more buried mailboxes or angry clients hehe ,

Me too! I've switched to a front blower on my compact tractor, and honestly, it's been a game changer. Sure, it's a bit slower than just plowing, but it does wonders for snow storage. I can't stress enough how important traction is, so make sure you've got some ballast and chains on hand. If you're considering it, go for a two-stage PTO blower. It might take a little time to get used to, but trust me, it's totally worth it

A friend of mine was considering this for a while, but he found that it's going to cost a lot and figured it wasn't worth it for him.

Hey, I'm curious to know if you ended up getting a Holder? I'm doing my own research and thinking of what's a good one to add to our small fleet. I'd be keen to hear any insights. I'm hoping to catch a pre-season deal. Thanks!
