anyone using a WoodMaxx blower??

[HillStreet]

I just received my SB60 last week. Not mounted yet, or even assembled, but I like it a lot. I have examined it and it is well built. I won’t install yet because the tractor is headed back to the dealer for insurance repairs. I am happy with the company— they do what they say.

Let us know how the assembly goes and what you think of the driveshaft.
Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know if they still offer the repeat customer discount?

They did as of a month ago - 5% off for being a repeat customer.

Finally! I picked it up 2 weeks ago, but couldn't get it outa the truck bed. The pallet they used has no middle support, so had to sneak under there and tack up a crossbar. Anyway...

Make sure that you spray or brush on plenty of fluid film to coat everything that contacts snow in several coats to prevent plugging and ice build up. I am glad to see that you have a warm place to let the ice and snow melt off the mule and the snow blower.

I've found PAM (or equivalent) works better than Fluid Film...
I use Fluid Film on the chain drive...

Mine (SB60) is shipping out today-going to be interesting week next week. Why the heck are cabs so expensive?!?!

I'll write a longer review sometime, but for now I'll just mention that, so far, the Woodmaxx not only meets my expectations but exceeds them. No issues with it (other than getting it out of the shipping crate!) and it eats snow like crazy. It seems to be very well made, and some of the extra features vs. others I looked at, Woods in particular, seem very good - like the separate cutting edge, which I'm running upside down to run over gravel, and the shields in the box that limit how badly snow can get packed in.

If Woodmaxx is reading this, I'm very happy overall, but you need to (1) make it easier to get out of the shipping crate (I had to cut it apart because even with everything unbolted I couldn't wiggle it out), and (2) be clear whether or not grease fittings are factory greased - part of the manual says no, then the detailed page on grease says yes! I ended up greasing them because there was no sign of any grease having been put in, and when I did pump in grease there was absolutely no resistance or noise to suggest any grease had been in there.

Don't let those two little things worry you. I thought I'd be able to clear my driveway in 30-60 minutes, and in fact it's taking me 15 or less with this thing. A lot of that is just positioning/repositioning too.

Did you get the imported driveshaft?, if so what do you think about it, is it poorly made or is it good. I’ve been on the fence about ordering one. How much wider is the blower than the tractor?
