anyone using a WoodMaxx blower??

That's the motor and gear to turn the chute. It's a metal box.

Thanks but I think we are talking about different things. I was referring in post #118 on 12/18 in MarkSold's 2nd photo of the interior of the tractor where it showed the toggle switches for the electric chute motors mounted on the fender with a rectangular switch box adjacent to it that looked like they might be wired together.

They are made in my back yard so maybe next year. I have a Canadian 66 inch for my ford but bought a 7 ft snow pusher for the Kubota FEL
Just tired of wearing 50% of the snow exiting the chute. Driving backwards also a pain for last 25 years. Kubota has a cab so pusher on front and rear blower might be ideal. The discharge fan on woodmax is very productive , forward thinking design while driving in reverse. Unles snow is more than a ft deep, a pusher is so much faster. Fewer trips to chiropractor as well.

I placed my SB-60 into service yesterday, powered by Kubota B2650.There is no doubt that it is a good snowblower. The latest storm was snow followed by freezing rain so it was a real mess, and the blower got rid of it without any trouble. The leading edge of the shave blade dug up the grass a bit much so I need to adjust.

Driveway is paved 330+ feet, but I also remove snow from pavers, and also cut a few roads on grass to the sheds and propane tank. I plan to lower the skid shoes one notch, and try to tilt the blower (with top link) to get it as close to the ground without touching.

Saturday we got our first real snowfall, about 10" to 12" so it was the first time using my tractor as I just bought it last summer. Every thing worked as it should. I was especially happy with the protective edge I mounted on the bucket to protect the lawn. As others have done, I used a plasma cutter to cut out a half inch strip of pipe then welded 1/8"x1-1/2" strap underneath the bucket. Then welded chain to the straps and attached it to an angle I welded on top of the bucket. Binders are used to tighten the chains/straps and make for a quick removal of the protective edge when needed.


Today we got another 4" to 6" of snow but I just used the ATV to clean up around the house.

It has a down pressure system on the blade so it cuts and cleans really well. I use a Warn winch rigged with 4 lines of synthetic rope to operate the plow. The ATV also has the Warn Multi Mount system so I can have a winch on the back to pull out the ATV if I get stuck. I have had this system for 10 to 15 yrs, I couldn't even guess how much snow I have moved with it. The blade is even coated with pickup bed liner to reduce the amount of snow that sticks to it.

I flew down to Florida yesterday, so my wife got stuck with 7 inches of cleanup from the Christmas Day storm. This was her second time using the tractor and first time clearing snow. She chose to use the WoodMaxx SB72 over the snowplow and sent this pic. I think she did a pretty good job. :thumbsup:

Woodmaxx new wider feet with my added 1/2" uhmw plastic added to bottom. Seems just right height for my imperfect paved / patched up driveway.

Thats funny you guys noticed that. It is actually an outdoor electrical enclosure box from home depot. I mounted it there so I had a cheap rugged box to hide a relay and electrical switch for my LED light bars I wired in. For the heck of it I wired a cigarette lighter in it too so I could power something if I needed to. Its next to the woodmaxx box I added recently.

We got 10 plus inches on Christmas and it stopped at 3pm. I adjusted the skid shoes down one position and the shave blade I’d now about 3/4 inch above grade. I like that, and it took care of the snow. It’s a good purchase, and am real happy with it.

Giot it hooked up finally Had to buy a 75K BTU Heater for the garage because the temps are below -10 continuously here. This thing is a beast

Note to self;
1) Buy a cab
2) Find some way of limiting the chute rotation like others have suggested.
3) Need more lights!
4) Buy a cab


Will post pictures soon.
