Snowblower Need good price on new/used snowblower New England

I've been emailing with AndyMA. I'm a bit concerned that the 63" is too big for my 18HP (14 PTO) tractor. But the pictures that he has emailed me do look nice.

Snowblowers are just like every other machine if they are geared right with the right impellers on the blower they will blow snow. Hydro's can use bigger blowers to a degree do to there flexibility of ground speed.

I will try it on my 22 HP... Kubota for the rest of the winter if AndyMA will let me. I will give you a complete report on how well it works in the spring.......

Awfully nice of you Junkman.

Art - Thanks for the info.

Mad - I called Walts. They are getting $1495 for the 52" blower.

Every dealer I've called has laughed when I ask if they've got any used blowers in stock /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif 'Tis the season...

I agree about the fan clearance. If anything gets jammed itll have to be very small. My Puma was made in Italy for Pronovost.

Well, you can take heart in the fact that you provided some different folks a few moments of humor. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I can just hear them now...."Can you guys believe this? Some smuck just called us up to see if we had any snowblowers! Man, that's rich! The guy must be from, like, Wisconsin or some place!!" /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Now that I am home I just looked at the serial number plate on my Puma. It is in both French and English and says "Made in Canada".

We have one walk behind 8 horsepower unit to go and then all will be gone from our three stores!

Glad to hear someone is having some good luck because of the snow. All of our "snow related" businesses and services are hurting. We're about 8" behind our normal snow accumulation, and when we do get some, it always warms up enough to melt it! All we have in the forecast over the next week is flurries. I wouldn't mind it so much if it would just warm enough (+40 degrees with no wind) to go out and play golf. But NOooooo, it has to stay around 35 and breezy! /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I am having lunch with Larry tomorrow and maybe I will make him a low ball offer for the snow blower so when you make an offer, he might accept it. All joking aside, I have seen the blower and it is in mint condition and well worth the asking price. I would buy it myself, if it wasn't a rear mount. My old neck can't handle the backwards driving anymore. I think that if he were to put an ad in the Want Advertiser, it would sell in a day.
