Short version...
How does your tractor mount snowblower work in slush or heavily saturated snow? Does the shoot clog? Does it throw very far?
Long version...
I recently purchased a Erskine 720 FM (front mount) snowblower and adapted it to fit my tractor. The auger and impeller are both working great, but snow if clogging the chute and preventing it from working properly. Once the chute is clear, I can take tiny bites and it will work for a few minutes before the chute clogs again.
The snow type is slush and extremly saturated snow. We have had 70" in the last few months and it has rained for two days. If you pick up the snow it is really wet and packs into ice balls.
What has your experience been? Is this normal? Will it likely work better with "normal" snow? Please tell me I didn't just waste $2000 =]
Thanks,
Marcus
