Best Snowblower?

[TimP]

If money was no object I'd buy a winter home where I could drink on the beach in my shorts and pay someone to clear snow at my summer home.

Me Too !!!!!

I would say that unless someone has had one of EVERY blower on the list, then they really don't know what they're talking about and should put their opinion in their pocket and walk away.

If someone has only had one blower, it will be "the best" blower they've ever had.

If money were no object, I would prefer a FEL mounted blower myself.

But money is ALWAYS an object.

Agreed. I'm FAR from rich, but try to get the best I can afford and not cheap out.

The old saying is, pay me now, or pay me later.

If you buy a cheap piece of equipment, it will cost more repairing it later, not to mention the down time.

I do have a front mount blower, and it is NICE! Now all I need to get is some decent snow to use it.

The last snow I had in my area was 2". That was after the initial forecast was for up to 12".

I was very disappointed. All dressed up, and nowhere to go.......

All the years of owning my Lorenz and I think I've used it maybe 3 times. I bought it used, it runs smooth and blows far. The augers will chew through frozen piles left by a plow. If I used it more I would get the hydraulic chute kit.

Good to know it's a Beast !

Thanks.

Is the Normand a Canadian Company?

If money were no object, which 3pt snow blower would you purchase? <snip> Thanks for your thoughts and opinions.

If money were unlimited I would opt for $10K - $20K Pronovost PXPL. Of course another $100K for a bi-directional tractor. That would eliminate any discussion on the relative merits of front, rear, or inverted snowblowers as I would have them all.

i had a farmking with my old JD870 and i will admit it did the job, but was cheaply made. i had to stiffen it up all over the place. especially the auger. it was continually bending. went thru shear pins early in season like butter. my new hydraulic blower is made by quickattach. its 100% USA made. very thick steel construction. they also have 3 point pto models.



the best thing about a hydraulic blower...no shear pins. but boy is it spendy.
