Since I had a hard time finding info on the Smyth snowblower, now that I own one, I have to do my part.
- Price: Cost me less than 2k taxes included! Was the same price as the 51" Meteor but I didn't want the Meteor and don't ask me why. It's the cheapest price I could find. And not the reason why I bought it but very happy that I saved almost 1k compare to the other model that I was supposed to get.
- Size: My tractor is 48" wide (almost 19hp @ pto), 54" is really a good size! Not too big but big enough!
- Options: Manuel chute, no skid shoes
. Grease fittings on every bearings, 4 blade fan.
- Throwing distance: Picture worth a thousand words. It's acceptable but not the farthest that I have seen (not enough snow either). I get better result with my push behind Toro (which does pretty well btw). But satisfied anyway.
- Quality in general: Looks very solid. Doesn't wumble, With minimum care and precaution, it will probably last forever.
- Lack of skid shoes: Yup, not good on gravel without a solid frozen base, but I knew that so I made some! And I may not need them for the rest of the season.
I'm glad I bought it but there is not enough snow to really appeciate it at this time. Ho yeah, I love my R4s and would not trade them but chains are required even with 4wd.
