Wheel horse Snow Plow Vs. Snow Thrower!

Here is a side-by-side comparison of my wheel horse tractors in a snow removal competition. The plow is on my 312, the thrower is on my 416. The winner is clear.

If you get the zombie head first, I bet it would work on them, although I have never tried. Because the ground is frozen in the winter, zombies are not generally available when the attachment is mounted.

Both machines have weights. The 312 has cast iron weights at about 45 lbs/tire- two plates per rim inner and outer . If you look closely you will see the black part as it is almost flush with the tire. The 416 has the cheaper sand filled type less lbs/tire. Also the 312 has two link chains the 416 has four link. Two link are better. Next time I get a decent storm, I will swap the blower and plow across machines and post the results. What ever machine has the blower will win.

That is a single stage blower.

Yeah...I put the new seat on over the summer. Good catch. It is not standard on the 416. Very comfortable BTW the 416 has an opposed Onan. Just rebuilt the carb. it is a beast.

Good comparison...sometimes you can push the stuff, other times it has to be dug out and thrown!

(wonders if Wheel Horse still exists...)

Does it work on zombies too?

Our john deere 265 has a single stage, in that much snow it would be just crawling...its only 17 hp single, with i think a around a 40 inch cut...needs a briggs v twin...aruond 25 hp.

What kind of snowthrower is that ?  Hp of your tractor ? Very impressive..

amazing!!! I love your snow thrower!

While the thrower will handle the deep snow better , I am sure you would still use the blade to clean up after the thrower , With a slush or small snow fall the blade would be better .
