Still shopping:
I have 1 dealer who will not give me a price quote for a 54 snow blower because sold two Dec 2010 and within a week both had broken impellers.
A 2nd JD dealer reports he replaced 6 plastic impellers between Dec. 1 and Feb. 15 and now tries to keep 3 in stock.
A 3rd dealer tells me he has never heard of any issues with the plastic impeller.
I have two concerns with a snow blower.
1. My current blower plugs up when I hit the half melted snow/salt/slush freezing rain mix we commonly have here in Connecticut?
JD dealer me JD blower do not plug up???
2. The plastic impeller will it break when I hit the ICE chunks at the street? My current 2 stage (not JD blower) is heavy gauge steel and I have had to bend both the auger and the impeller at times. I simply take a hammer and pound it straight Can稚 do that with plastic.
3. Has anyone here broken the impeller?
QUESTIONS
Do JD plug up in slushy heavy wet snow?
Do I buy a 2520 tractor with a snow blower and hope it works good?
Do take the $3600 which I would spend on a snow blower and purchase a bigger tractor to push the snow?
I like the construction and muscle of the 3320 but I sit back and think I might be a little big. But I am unsue if a 2520 or 2720 can push the wet snow we get. If the blower works good that痴 OK, but I hate the idea of swpping between blower and bucket.
Since my wife uses the machine also the rear mount blower is out of the question.
