3 point Snowblower hello southwestern Ontarions

[buickanddeere]

Lived there for 31 years.

I can see why you moved to the tropical side of Ontario. I lived in New Castle for two years then moved to the Capital of Kincardine. What a forsaken place in a blizzard the 3rd last community to receive fresh milk and bread after a storm.

Kincardine...I used to go there..The Kindardine hotel.."the best crew in town". That was when I had a rooster tail..and a sailboat. I sold my sailboat...and lost my tail. They had the best looking stripper I ever saw.
I always dreamed about living there, but NOT in the winter. Even drinking beer with a totally nude woman in a bar didn't do it in the winter...Now I just have a Meteor snowblower from Elmira..but the Kincardine snowblower was more fun.

60" single fan, single auger Lucknow, with hydraulic chute rotation came as part of the package when upgrading to 3320 CAB. Think it is 2007 vintage. No problems so far, except one broken shear bolt when blower ate an unseen broken guard rail post. Good throw distance. Unit has two skid plates and I find even on gravel that adjusting the blower with a bit of tilt until the ground has a good covering minimizes gravel pickup. The 3320 handles the 60" about 90% - 95% of time and if not just slow down or take a smaller bite. Assume the 3520 could go a bit wider with no problems.

The "ballet" and the building were long gone before we moved to the area. Pierson's Auto is located on or near the location of the former Ballet. Kitty corner to the old movie theater. Bar, pub, restaurant and entertainment of any type took a hit as Bruce B and Heavy Water construction wound down from the 1969 to 1986 construction era . The aging boring middle aged to retirement age makes up the bulk of Kincardine now. Port Elgin has more growth and young families.

Thanks buck and deere lucknow are sure tough . Anybody else have any reviews

The Hagedorn design was tough, and it is being made now by another local shop close to Paisley. Nothing wrong with a Lucknow or some of the others, but the Hagedorn is a better built unit (with the improvements made by the new shop). Cheaper than most of the others too. I use mine commercially and this will be the 3rd winter with it and not a single issue. I also have a second one that is the original Hagedorn design that has been used commercially for about 15 years, and it still works well. That is like 100 years of personal use!

I use an ancient single auger Hagedorn on my 1640 with a hydraulic chute rotator. There was a rotator challenge until replacing the cable with chain. Then had to hammer down, reinforce and weld down the tabs that keep the chute in place.
The band around the fan took a beating after ingesting a stick of firewood the neighbor left along side their laneway. I need to sledge hammer the blower housing to fan blade clearance back to minimal.
The single auger stands taller than most two auger blowers.

We probably know each other or at least know some common person somewhere from Bruce County.

Good chance of that. Bruce County isn't all that populated....

Yes, the one issue we had with the old hagedorn blower was the cable system (which is still on there, it just sticks once in a while). The improved design uses a toothed ring on the chute with an orbit motor turning it on those teeth. Although I used a Lucknow that used cables as well and had the same sticking problems.

The "tipper" function is much nicer too, rather than the top of the chute hinging at one point, it is a multi segment design that allows you to practically blow the snow right back straight at the ground if you choose to.
