I think this is a good idea. It's not useful for snow that is dry enough to blow but it is very useful for slushy snow that would clog the chute. If your only other choice is to push that slush by hand this is a great alternative. How do I know? I use a piece of plywood attached to my snowblower for clearing the driveway of slush and it works great. The snowblower is well able to push the slush without strain. For the length of my 100' drive I push it about 1/3 of the way at a time and clear that pile of slush to the side and then continue. Sounds like most of the critics on here have never even tried that simple experiment and are just speculating without experience.
Bought it, installed it, snow is gone though, but feels very solid, very good weight of all parts. Drill bit provided was useless on my Toro but a good metal step drill did the job. I am guessing that for heavy wet snow that is a chore for the blower , this will be a good , fairly priced for the quality add on. Will leave a proper review next winter!
Not a bad idea, it is one I have often wondered about for our two gravel driveways, the blower is very limited when only small amount and ground not frozen. I would get one.
Snowblower transmissions are not designed to push any amount of additional weight more than the machine itself, so (if you know how the drive system works) you will be wearing out the rubber driver wheel (along with the disc that drives it) prematurely. And those little wheels won't push much snow with so little weight on them. Even if you have chains you won't do much in wet heavy snow. You're better off to install an impeller kit on your machine and learn to blow it out of the way instead of trying to push it. Before wasting your money, go out and try to push some snow with piece of plywood in front of your auger housing and see how that goes for you! You will probably change your mind.
I would see this as useful in pushing slushy wet snow that plugs up the snowblower with ice. Concern is the snowblower strong enough to push slushy ice?
"Great video! I noticed that the video mentions measuring 9 inches from the ground for the installation, but the printed instructions specify 7.5 inches. Could you clarify which measurement is correct for optimal setup? Thanks!"
I think this is great. I just installed it but I have one complaint. I installed it following the install instructions on your website as booklet says to go to. But I see now that I should of only measured up 7.5. Inches not the 9 inches video says.

Mechanic here says that the housing is not strong enough for this. Great idea....
Not silly at all. I use a piece of plywood to remove slushy snow that would clog the chute. It works great. I'm sure this plow would work well for that.
****** Questions*******Will this void my manufacturers warranty on a brand new $3,500.00 + snowblower... Will my 212cc gas engine be strong enough, will this do well on a gravel driveway, will this do well on a nice & wet heavy snow that the snowplow pushed in front of my driveway, will this put any extra stress on the traction belt, the friction wheel, friction disc, gears & chains if equipped.........??????????????????????????????????????????. Just asking...
Wow, nice option for your snowblower, especially if someone isn't comfortable with blowing snow..no chute direction to worry about or how far it will cast the snow, etc..onto a neighbors car or damage someone's property.
Just a big pile of snow in your driveway to deal with since a snowblower doesn't have the power to push it very far. An awesome tool to ruin the drive train on your snowblower
If you don't want to throw the snow very far just keep the top part of the shoot low. Best thing to do is get familiar with the controls. Why do people play with the controls on the shopping for a snowblower in the hardware store.
I agree with the other comment. What use is this. It’s suppose to throw snow. U never mentioned size of drill bit and why die the blade not have a full length cutting edge. It doesn’t go all the way across. Not a purchase I’d make.
-- I agree with you. Friction disk wasn't designed to push heavy snow. Just buy, build an auger kit if you have too, or here's an idea, in real slushy snow, just slow down. Poof! What a concept.
this will certainly destroy any warranty on your snow-blower. this heavy blade and brackets add un-necessary strain and weight, causing certain eventual damage and possibly causing injury. If the snow is slush, and its too heavy for your snow-blower, use a shovel to push it to the side or better yet, wait for it to melt. its slush; its already melting.
Okay. Some nerd came up with this but why🤔.. instead of calling it dumb as f... maybe a video showing how its to be used or why its better than the auger and impeller
My lord how lazy are people! If there isn’t enough snow to use the blower then you get your shovel out! If your to old, weak, or fat to shovel then you budget to pay for a service. If this was meant to fit on a piece of equipment that was not designed for snow removal like a lawnmower it would make sense.
This seems like a terrible idea. You don’t need to push heavy/wet snow out of the way. You would be better off adding rubber to the impeller blades to make sure there isn’t a gap so it won’t clog. Plenty of videos on how to do that. good way to damage your snowblower drive mechanism and waste money/increase frustration
What’s the point? Great idea but design it to go on something that is not already made for snow removal. Drill the crap out of you blower housing for nothing.
I gotta lie, this thing looks great!!! Totally not a waste of money….

This would be great for pushing stuff during the summer and not just snow like gravel driveway or what not

Perfect for pushing slush, instead of clogging snowblower! Nice!

I do it with a piece of plywood and my 32"Ariens is plenty strong enough to. Traction, not power is the limiting factor.
If there is too much slush to push straight angle the plow
So you need to manually walk in front of the blower and lift up the blade every time you make a new pass or back up?
"Great video! I noticed that the video mentions measuring 9 inches from the ground for the installation, but the printed instructions specify 7.5 inches. Could you clarify which measurement is correct for optimal setup? Thanks!"
I’m wondering the same thing. jeffb5269, did you get an answer?

Next up.
Turn your car into a bass boat.
😂
I'd like to see that one.. lol
Is the blade in contact to the ground? I had mine installed as per the video but it had a gap of about an inch. I have a toro snowoplow.
If anything show us how to make a bucket or cart to use in the yard to move trees and bags of mulch around. Sixtyfiveford probably has a video.
this is the silliest thing ever
I feel like it’s an SNL skit.
@@_Moto215 a really bad SNL skit. 😆
@@_Moto215Don't know about "feel like" but I BELIEVE it might be limited in it's usefulness.

Not comfortable blowing snow? Is that snowthrowaphobia? They aren’t complicated.

Would not be needed if you simply attached a sump pump to the front of your blower to pump the extra water out of the snow.
The auger brackets are not at the same height
you want to plow, get a pick-up, you want to blow, get a snow-blower
you want to plow and blow with the same machine, get a Throwerblade.
It's called SLUSH dude. Go ahead and shovel your slushy slush.or kiss the clogs.
Great Idea . anyone saying less is a hater .
I agree with the other comment. What use is this. It’s suppose to throw snow. U never mentioned size of drill bit and why die the blade not have a full length cutting edge. It doesn’t go all the way across. Not a purchase I’d make.
I just don’t see the need for this attachment. The idea of a snow blower is to throw the snow not just push it.
A snowblower is designed to throw snow, not push it. I fail to see any useful or practical application. I notice that you don't offer any either.
That's for people who enjoy ripping their friction disk to shreds.
Absolutely, what a waste of time
Slush that plugs the blower
@@bccycle1 slush that plugs the blower will weigh too much for the blower to push. Or break the transmission

So install this and then it will void any warranty no thanks
Why?
What a waste of money. I've owned several blowers and the tires spin as soon as the shoot hits dirt so that's not gonna push crap.
Why does this even exist! Lol
Been to Shark Tank?
Okay. Some nerd came up with this but why🤔.. instead of calling it dumb as f... maybe a video showing how its to be used or why its better than the auger and impeller
That is totally ridiculous would never fly here in Ontario Canada.

What about slush!? The blade can be used to push slush, instead of clogging snowblower.
Agree! If you are too old to shovel - just move to Florida!
You want to throw the snow not push it.
nuts go on outside
Well I just ordered one not😢😂
That will not last in buffalo ny
lol try a canadian winter

What idiot came up with this ,beter yet who would do this to a snowblower. Key word Blower!
Wtf is this stupid thing. Waste of money
If this was Family Fued, that would be the #1 answer on the board! 😂
Snowblower won’t have the HP to push the all that snow 🤦🏻♂️
Pointless purchases
Why not demonstrate use.Im guessing there are some obvious reasons why not.
What a bunch of bullshit 😂
A snowblower is not built to push heavy snow,you will kill your blowers drive system,
