I love the blower action but why are you blowing the street and up into neighbors yards? For demonstration? Dang, that thing needs to be out on a long country driveway. :)
Ah, you guys with your fancy toys and the shed space to store them!
Since all I have is the space in my 2-car garage, I had to balance snow throwing ability against what I could actually fit in the space I have.
Wound up with a single-stage Toro Power Clear 400-series, which hangs on the wall (!) in the off season. In South Central PA's "twin blizzards of '10," this thing knocked through 12 inches at a time without slowing down. Cleared 12" accumulations in 15 min., drive and walk.
Most people do the job with what they can afford right now.I suggest you get yourself a plow for the truck first and a mini track loader that you can load onto your trailer (for the wind rows). Later , when you have more money you can add a plow and pallet forksfor the mini (to load the attachments , you don't have space for on the trailer, onto four foot planks laid in between your box rails). That way ,you'll be adapting to many more situations (summer and winter)....
blade vs blower...... both have their part..... yes a blade is quicker .. however what do you do when the banks get pushed up too high and you have no place else to put the snow.... Its my experience you will never run out of room to blow snow away , and your driveway and parking area will not shrink as the winter goes on
I use a 4 x 4 atv with a 60" blade. And by the time I plow back far enough to know I will not run out of room (and I actually have that option) I'm not sure time is saved. Pretty sure I am going to sell the wheeler in favor of a blower on my JD garden tractor.
I've been debating building a blower like this, but I now use a 400cc Polaris Sportsman with a 4 foot plow.
Blowers are too slow. It leaves WAY too much snow on the pavement, harder to control.....and who's gonna pay for all the damage when the blower throws a rock (or a BRICK!) through a customer's vinyl siding?
I and ONE helper do SEVEN double car driveways and adjacent sidewalks in THREE towns that are 12 miles apart,in just THREE hours. Do that with a blower!!
serious? Like, that is not hard at all. I can do that by my self with my 24inch snow blower. I can do 3 double driveways with all sidewalks in less than a hour.
Who all checked their phones at 4:34 to see if that was yours vibrating????

that blower must not have a "float" setting???
looks like it is bouncing up and not stayin on the ground...
I still like it though
masternate43 3 years ago
it does have a float setting, this was a brick street, very rough and the blower has springs to help lift.
kssuperz 3 years ago
oh, well that makes sense!
masternate43 3 years ago
@masternate43 it does, i just had my springs set to strong and had my shear plate set to low.

@Legman815 Plows are great unless you live in a high snow fall area. Then you run out of room to put it.
