Welcome Storm, good to have you here with us and enjoy the forums.
Thank you very much, been lurking around for awhile and seems like a nice friendly group! Lots of great information also.
I tried searching, but couldn't really find an answer to what snow blow/throw attachements are available for a LX277. Dealer says only a single stage will work, but I am hesitant about going that route as here in NY our snow can be quite "wet" and with my steep driveway I don't think I can maintain enough forward speed for a single stage to be effective. Ideas anyone ?

:MTF_wel: You will only find single stage OEM blowers. Looks like Bercomac makes an aftermarket two stage. And don't let a single stage scare you - I've blown 6" of packed sleet with the single stage on my 180.

Thanks, great information! Plan B that I am thinking about is a 314 with a 46 hydraulic blower and 39' mowing deck for $900 that I found. This way I could have a dedicated snow blower, and backup lawn tractor.. and a new toy! Think its worth it ?

Definitely! More is always better and that way you avoid the strain and injuries from remounting attachements. :trink39: But consider the source of this advice...

Stormwee, welcome to the forum. Not that knowledgeable on the LX series so I'll let the others address that. But your plan B says you found a "hydraulic" blower for the 314? The 314 has a set of hydraulic ports on the front for a hydraulic lift snowblower. But it is run from the front PTO by belt, you can mount the 47 inch 2 stage JD blower to it though (make sure you get the right one that mounts to the 300 series). It should do a pretty good job but you will need some real weight on the back of the 314 to offset it!

I havn't seen this plan "B" beast in person, but from the pic there are a pair of hydraulics there so I guess that is to raise/lower the impliment, and the auger runs off the front PTO belt. It is a 1983 tractor and 46" single stage snowblower the owner tells me. Looks like wheel weights are in order to make this a worker.

News to me too, thought the 300 series could only run the #49 single stage.
