I added a power chute deflector to my blower with pics to show anyone interested.
I am still waiting patiently to try it out.

Here is a little video off my phone of how it all works.

sorry to ask a dumb question but is this a front mounted or 3pt mounted blower?

It is a 3pt you can see the full pics here

Got it. Pretty nice setup. That blower almost makes your tractor look small because it is so big. How much does something like that weigh? Does the XL struggle lifting it. How about counter balance? Does the frontend get light with that up in the air? Once you add snow and ice to the blower my guess is it will be pretty heavy.

The blower weight is 422 lb , it seems to lift it without a problem. I had my friend who is about 250 lb sit on it and it still lifted it just fine, don't get me wrong I do feel it when I lift it but it doesn't seem to be a problem .
That same friend who couldn't believe the XL lifted the blower also tried to lift the front of the tractor when I lifted the blower and couldn't move it, and that was without me sitting on it and the loader wasn't on it either.
I don't know how well it will all work out because I haven't got to try it out yet.
I believe it is going to work very well , I will let you know after we get our first big snow storm.
