Tractor Snow Blower

!±8± Tractor Snow Blower

A tractor snowblower can be a very useful and time saving piece of equipment. There are basically 2 different configurations, and front mount and a rear mount.

Most people who don't use a tractor snowblower in a full time way will opt for a rear 3 point mount that is drives by a simple power take off. The 3 point mounted snow blower is simple and quick to install, simply back up t the snow blower, connect the 3 point hitch and the power take off and your ready to blow snow. One of the disadvantages to the rear mount tractor snow blower is that you are blowing snow in reverse, thus being just a little bit uncomfortable having to twist in the tractor seat to see where you are going. The other disadvantage that I have heard is that it can be rough on the tractors transmission, since they weren't designed to operate in reverse a lot. I don't know if that is a valid point, but it is worth mentioning.

The front mount tractor snowblowers are very nice since you can just drive comfortably forward to blow snow. The problem with the front mount models is that they are more complicated all of the way around. Usually they are operated by hydraulics and have a large and complicated mounting mechanism.

I have seen some creative mounts where a person puts a 3 point attachment on the front of a tractor and convert a rear mount power take off drive tractor snow blower to hydraulic drive. This way you can get a little bit of the best of both worlds from front an rear mount snow blowers.

All in all tractor snow blowers a re a rather simple and very useful tool when you get a significant snowfall. I remember when we lived in Minnesota and got a 4 foot snowfall on October 31st several years ago. Getting to the barn or getting the driveway passable even for a 4 wheel drive truck was going to take a fair amount of digging. We had a neighbor with a rear mount tractor snowblower on an international 1066. Without asking or anything in about 10 minutes he blew us a path to the barn and blew out our driveway. It was impressive. That was when I was sold on the advantages of a snow blower over other means of moving snow.

A Review of Popular Snow Blower Products

!±8± A Review of Popular Snow Blower Products

No job is too small or too big for a snow blower. From the humblest light powdering to the heaviest blizzards, there's a machine designed to clear the way. Here is a look at several brands of snow blowers and what you should know before making that first purchase.

Toro Snow Blowers

Toro's 12 single-stage, dual-stage, and electric snow blowers offer a 5-year warranty on their exclusive 2-cycle R*Tech Engine. Most warranties only last 2 years. Other goodies Toro offers: A special trigger for releasing power to the wheels for tight turning action; an omni-directional joystick for mechanically aiming the discharge chute; and a heavy-duty gear case, eliminating the need for shear pins.

Honda Snow Blowers

Honda's line of ten snow blowers feature logical control layouts and "infinitely variable" drive speeds, allowing you to choose your exact speed in forward and reverse without stopping. Most other snow blowers have 6 forward speeds and 2 reverse speeds. Honda snow blowers all use Honda engines, which focus on fuel economy.

Ariens Snow Blowers

Ariens offers 14 high-quality single- and dual-stage gas snow blowers, plus the unique Power Brush, which is perfect for clearing away light snow and leaves. All Ariens snow blowers have tires that don't require chains, preventing wear and tear on your driveway. Ariens warranties last 3 years.

MTD Snow Blowers

MTD is a family of outdoor equipment brands, including Troy-Bilt, White Outdoor, Yard Machines, and Yard Man. Yard Machines boasts 14 different gas and electric snow blowers to fit your needs.

White Outdoor offers the most affordable models, ranging from 0 for their single-stage unit to ,100 for their largest dual-stage thrower.

John Deere Snow Blowers

John Deere contracts Frontier Equipment for their snow blowers. All Frontier Equipment single-stage snow blowers, as well as their smallest dual-stage units, use standard Tecumseh Snow King engines. Their 9 to 13 horsepower units use Briggs and Stratton Intek Snow engines, which are designed for performance in sub-zero temperatures, quick starts, and quiet running. All Frontier Equipment dual-stage snow blowers are optimized for constant carburetor and engine temperatures, with an optional engine block heater.

Murray Snow Blowers

Snapper makes Murray's snow blowers. They come in all sizes and stages. They only offer 5 forward speeds rather than the standard 6, but their exclusive "Creeper Speed" makes up for it by getting you steadily through some of the tougher portions of the job.

Craftsman Snow Blowers

Craftsman has an exclusive agreement with Sears whereby Sears both sells and services Craftsman snow blowers. This is desirable because Sears's technicians where you bought your machine know the machine inside and out. Craftsman snow blowers use Briggs & Stratton for their smaller engines and Tecumseh for their larger engines. Newer Craftsman snow blowers are made by AYP or Murray.

Simplicity Snow Blowers

By design, Simplicity snow blowers are anything but. Their 11 models boast such extras as a special handle for releasing power to the right wheel, allowing for turning on a dime; a snow depth and density sensor that automatically adjusts power to the auger and impeller; and a Briggs & Stratton Intek Snow engine, which is built for subzero temperatures, quick starts, and quiet running.
