Im a snow blower virgin, infact never even used a walk behind lol. I have plenty experience handling snow, but all by blade and loader. Used to contract 5 highschools in virginia back in the day.
Im interested in getting a blower for my 3540 to do residential asphalt drives and make myself an option for removing piles created by trucks.
1) is 28 pto hp enough to run a 66 or 72 inch blower without taking all day and would it have the arse behind it to chomp into truck plow made piles?
More or less will it get anything done quick enough to make money?
2) how far could i expect to throw an average wet snow, i live in md so we can get anything from powder to heavy stuff. And how close can a blower clean asphalt?
3) any brand reccomendation?
4) i have one rear remote and definatly plan on getting a hydraulic chute rotator, but am on the fence about an electric or electrohydraulic deflector. Im thinking it isnt needed on big lots but may be nice in residential drives as to not blow snow against a house or into the trees in tight spots.
Thanks for the advice.
