John Deere 316 w/ 44 inch Berco Deluxe Snowblower

[jeremydflom]

Your probably looking at $2500 give or take. This will be my 3rd season and I love it.......you won't be disappointed.

[bradhallsr]

I want one, what is the price range for one of them? I have the 2011 John Deere D140 Tractor.

[utilitykiller1972]

Yes I Would do the exact same if the honda would not work out ,A 23 HP vanguard will be a perfect choice ,I love the honda and kawi's but the vanguards make an awesome motor ,They run smooth and put out ton's of torque,I have a 18 vanguard in my other cub and love it,,

It will fun to see how it performs for you,Good Luck with the fit up!!

[jeremydflom]

@ utility killer......as far as the tractor goes its all stock in the video (with exception of turning up the high rpm setting a couple hundred rpms). I didnt do any mods at all to the blower or the pulleys. After doing some research and talking with other guys the Honda plan is not gonna happen........I've heard people having issues getting them to fit. I'm going with a Briggs Vanguard 23hp from Jims Repair hopefully before the snow flies this year. Videos will be on here ASAP after the swap.

[utilitykiller1972]

How many RPMs would you guess your running it at, Did you gear your pully to the moon ?

Mine on my cub throws really good ,But not as far as yours.

When you put a gx 690 in it ,It will blow to the moon!!!

[xXZANDER1994Xx]

man. this sucker blows more than anything I have ever seen. not kidding but it blows farther than our full size farm tractor blower

Not sure about the Gravely? Call the 800 number at the end of my video and ask for Jim, he's the berco expert. He's very knowledgeable and very willing to help. If nothing else he'll probably make you a custom mounting bracket if your serious about getting one.

do they make a berco blower for gravelys

[msteacy]

I can vouch for this performance with stock equipment. I have the Bercomac 40" electric lift attached to a John Deere LA165 and the two together make the snow fly.

[jeremydflom]

dual stage

[35markers]

single or dual stage?

[Philscbx]

@35markers It's Obviously a Two Stage.

Single Stage is basically a broom, and will never throw snow 1/4 as far.

It has to gather and throw it at the same time which is fine for very small work.

But never this performance. Only Two Do this.

[jeremydflom]

There are no mods done to the blower or tractor. Both are completely stock. The impeller on the berco runs at a high RPM from the factory. At wide open throttle it sounds like an airplane when you stand in front of it.

[1bigbadwolverine]

What modifications have been done to that blower unit? it sounds like a chainsaw running around the 26 sec. mark. Did you modify the blades or upgrade the pully system to 2nd stage? Other than that it looks like it works wonders.

[jeremydflom]

Ya its awesome! You simply cannot get a better blower than the berco.

[tc25d]

I have never seen a small tractor blow snow like this...I almost can't believe it and only do because I am seeing it.

[tc25d]

I have a 25HP New Holland that cost $16K and does not even throw the snow 1/4 of the distance. Geez - I feel numb. :) Thanks for sharing this video!

[iOWNaFERGUSON]

That works!

[mikeydvd1]

wow!!

[jeremydflom]

It has the factory 16hp kohler engine in the video. Future plans are a GX690 honda. That'll really turn it into an animal!

[BroncoRS1]

yea ,make your own snowstorm...

[1944johndeerel]

DAMN!

[nathancanderson]

Awesome power. Very impressive!!!
