Hi all,

Yesterday was my first snow test of my bestest Christmas Gift EVER!!! OMG she was amazing!

At 3600 RPM she was able to throw snow 40'

I've never had the chance to use a snowblower , but I never new you had to run at such high RPM's . So I take it that this has to run well over the 540 pto like some pto implements?
Is this the norm ,to run RPM's that high?

My guess is he is running a walk behind snow blower. All your little motors on things like that, mowers, generators, ect run at 3600 rpm.

Reporting from centarl Maine....Blizzard conditions on the way home from work today. The fields were all blowing and visibility was near zero at most times. I am guessing we got 8 to 10 inches with lots of deeper drifts. The wind has been viscious. No power for the first hour that I was home. Still a light snow but the wind cries Mary.!!

The new Frontier SB1164 performed flawlessly for about 50 minutes, just enough to punch a hole out my driveway and my neighbors. The 3pt. snowblower is almost silent when it is up to speed @ 2600rpm. Very impressive, smooth operation. The wind was blowing hard so it had a negative effect on how far the blower was actually throwing the snow. In one spot about 40' wide the snow was getting knocked down by the wind. No problem to blow the snow twice and I doubt I will have to in "normal" conditions.

Tomorrow I get to shape and clean up the 2 driveways and I will try to post up some pictures.

:thumbsup: On The Blower.!!!! Best rig I've had in 20 years of snowblowing.:thumbsup::D

8"-10" here, although hard to tell exactly because of the high winds and drifting... Glad you guys are having so much out there playing in this stuff - I'm sick of it already! :rolleyes:

Diamond,

I was referring to the engine RPM not the PTO.

I might be wrong but I think the pto spins faster while under load at higher RPM.
