Best for 1025R owners weighing the upgrade for heavy snow removal.

The greater forces produced by the one series wore the pivot points of the hitch, causing it to become sloppy over time.
The 66 inch front blade, the 47HD and 54HD snow blowers, and the 60 inch broom are the new available attachments.
Including the blower, mounting kit, front PTO kit, and three-point hitch with freight and setup, the total is about $6,975.
