BTW, does anyone know if there's a snowblower attachment available for this model?

A couple of pics of it:

Depends on how much you are willing to spend and how badly you want it. That would sell for over 3 grand new in Canada.but is one of the best on the market.
There is a snow blower attachment which does not work all that well. It is a single stage so does not move heavy snow a great distance.The base of the spout also needs to be sealed so snow does not drop back behind the machine.
The big drawback is the transmission. Third gear only works with rear mounted implements, it is set up to lock out in reverse. This is a safety feature.When the handles are reversed to mount a font attachment, third will now only work in reverse so it is blocked. You now have only two speeds, slow and slower.

Thanks for the info canguy. Any ideas on what a reasonable offer might be?

Hey Canguy,

After posting, I got to thinking on why you thought it'd be slow. You musta been talking about the 1995 and newer 700 series that are pretty slow in "pusher" mode. The 710 goes 1.3 and the 716, 720, 730 go .7 and 1.4. This 725 is 1994 and older and has the speeds I mentioned in the above post. You can play with speeds more with different tire sizes. It comes with 4-8 16 inch tall tires. I put 6-12 23 inch tall tires on my 715 and got 20% faster ground speed. With the snowblower, it doesn't make much difference on PTO height, but it made too big a difference with the tiller. You'd need to either change back and forth on the tires or buy a PTO extension when tilling with the 6-12s.

Hopefully this makes it clearer, but it probably muddies it more :-)

Thanks for the advice Bill, much appreciated.

You are right Bill, my experience is with the newer machines. I had one snow blower attachment returned twice, both owners were unhappy with it.
We sold mostly sweeper attachments for outdoor rinks and sidewalks. I put one on a 730 that we could not sell but the operators complained it was too slow as 3rd could not be used. Great unit with a tiller though. The 9hp 620 (which is not advertised) is the cat's meow with front attachments, it will not accept rear. The 850 worked well with front and rear attachments but is VERY expensive and a bit of a handful for inexperienced operators.
