I have a used implement dealer around the corner from me. I stopped in today for some misc. hitch pins, etc. He had an interesting 3pt snowblower there today. Instead of the throat facing the rear, it faced forward . So you drive forward and as you drive over the snow, it goes into the chute and the first stage of the blower. I can't remember the manufacturer but is was something like Snowmachines or something. He claimed that it came from Canada.
Has anyone seen one like this? Any comments on how effective it operates? If that was the answer to facing rear, I would expect to seem more of them, So are there any known problems with this type blower?
This guy is normally over-priced. He wanted $650 for a new boxblade, when I bought a Midwest box from Corriher for almost $300 less delivered. He wants $700 for a 6' rake with guide wheels, but I can also get that cheaper from Corriher. But he only wants $400 for this blower... used of course.
