Would anyone know what the min recommended h.p. to run this snowblower should be,
Thanks

Minimum hp would dictate how much you ride the clutch and how far the snow gets thrown for the most part. I use a Ford 8600 (about 100 PTOhp) and I have seen a IH parts book that shows a 2+2 hitched to it. Based on the size of the blower, I am going to guess that a minimum of 75-80 PTOhp.

Thanks much for the info, I ran it all last winter with a Massey 165 45 h.p. when deep did it struggled much, looking at a 70 h.p. diesel , that should be much better than the 45 h.p. gas
Thanks

IH did not state in the brochure or the owners manual what a minimum HP was for the 70 or the 80 snow blower. I run a 70 snow blower with a 584 with no problems.
