County tractor with front snowblower

[Absent Minded Farmer]

These were never for airports, just roadway edge snowbanks.

These must have served the same purpose?

Is the spout used for loading trucks?

Most municipalities in the north end up having to truck snow out of town. Blowers like that were used to load trucks as well as just moving snow around. Neighboring farmer had one like this, don’t remember the model of tractor, but it was a hydro. He would occasionally hire out to the town when their end loader mounted blower was down.

What are the chances of finding another tractor like this?
Then getting it shipped back to uk?

There are County tractors here and there all over New York and PA. Probably a bunch of them up in Canada too.
