Snow Equipment Owning/Operating Pictures of your snow weapons

[Fastball]

Am so very tired of doing my 600-foot tree-lined driveway with the rear blade. The banks from every snowfall just keep making it narrower - and by February, I have to use the loader to move the banks back. Got a 60 blower and hopefully I can just throw the snow 30 feet away and be done with it. Of course, I have just guaranteed the LOWEST snowfall here in a generation.

And, that's a bad thing?
Actually, I shared your pain...had the same winter after I bought my first 3PH blower several years ago...

Fastball, Nice looking blower. Never heard of that brand, "Avenue". I really like the design of that tall chute, curved back all the way up. I find that the angled straight back chutes deflect some of the snow onto the top of the blower and it needs to be cleaned off every now and then. That curved back should let the snow flow all the way to the deflector.
Good luck with the machine and hope you get to break it in.

Avenue Machinery is the dealer. The blower itself is an Agri-Ease, which is a rebranded Braber. We don’t live in a traditional snowbelt area, so I hope I only need it only a dozen times a year...otherwise I would have bought a Farm King, etc.which is arguably a step up in quality But the FK was 1K more in price.

Since I bought my TYM T474 and an inverted MK Martin 68'' blower, we haven't gotten ANY snowblower worthy snow here in NW MT. This despite that it is supposed to be a La Nina winter with 40% above average snow.

Well I sure hope that you are correct in your assesment,
I have seen it work that way, I did some of my part yesterday,
Had been looking for some time for a blower, really wanted an inverted but,
42" high 96" wide;


That was my seat time yesterday, going to get it, a bit today getting it hooked up and running after greasing it, still got to drain the gearbox and refill it and check out the chute rotator.

No idea of the brand;
the lettering under the paint is hard to decipher.


Later on this week I'll be ordering the new studded snow tires for my pickup that should seal the weather for this winter, I hope.

That is one extra large size blower. Hope you get a blast to try it out.

That thing is a beast. Should be able to move a lot of snow in a hurry. Enjoy.

It looks very similar to a Loftness blower

 

[Rustyiron]

I agree, almost exactly matches my Loftness. Also a 96" but with 2 augers and 48".
Looks good Lou. You might want to hitch it to some "big iron", I found that I was wanting another 50hp over what I have on my kub 9540. Or a creeper gear. :thumbsup:
