I finally got a chance to use the new snowblower on a significant snow fall. We got about 30" or so..
I wore my snowboard goggles .. and that seemd to be the best I could do for the misty snow .. but I had our driveway and road opened up in about 1/2 hour ... Even made it to work on time!! <dang it>.
I made an electric chute rotator out of one of the inexpensive Harbor Freight winches .. it's a bit slow, but works great! I also cut a 3" steel pipe in 1/2 and welded it to the cutting edge .. really helps keep the reclaimed asphalt in place, and I even cut a path to My good friends house (neighbor) and it did not dig into the soft ground at all..
Overall I really like the blower, (Woods ss74), My DK40SE HST runs it just fine, but I think the hydrostatic would allow for any width blower to be ok?
I did have to save some snow for the pile ... obvious reasons.. hehe.
Tractor on, and lets all hope for more snow!!!
