- Wheel Horse 520 blowing snow with 2 stage blower. I know snow does not look deep but it is basically ice crystals covered with a sheet of ice. Blower handled it with ease.
Auger was hitting a bolt but that has been repaired.
nice setup buddy, keep on rollin
I have this 44 inch 2 stage on my 312-8
Just blew 9 inches wet heavy snow in Ct
Motor was great but the 3 series frame is a bit small for this.
A snowblower is the best shovel any man could ever have.
I have a two stage snowblower attachment for my Toro 522xi garden tractor but I’ve never installed it. It’s really heavy and I don’t have anyone to help put the monster on.
You could rent an engine hoist to pick it up and position it. Not just for car engines!

I have an engine hoist. The #79366 5xi 44” 2 stage snowblower is 350 pounds so I bought a 79365 5xi 42” 1 stage snowblower then I traded the 44” for a 5xi 60” deck which I sold last spring. I have a 2nd 79365 that was abused which I’ve been saving to adapt one of my Berco 40” snowblowers to. The 79366 is a monster to move around.
I'm in the process of buying a used Wheel Horse tractor from a mechanic. It doesn't cut grass but rather it's setup as a snow blower machine with a covered cab, wheel weights and chains with a snow blower attached in the front with a 47" width. Once up and down my long driveway and I'm back in the house again. I'm wondering if I'll need to do maintenance any differently with this as a dedicated snow machine besides #2 grease and non-ethanol gas? Couldn't get the exact model from where the machine was situated.
After watching this video you should really look into getting the full cover for the driver. It makes a big difference.
Do you have any weights on your machine? Rear wheel weights and added rear weights will give you more bite when you drive.
What was that intermittent banging?
the auger bumps the skid pad bolt
the snow blowers are awesome but I am going to stick with my blade man you are covered that can't be fun ?
My auger is hitting a bolt to. So how did you fix it?
Mine too....not sure how to fix it. I wonder if its a bad bearing???
Do you even have your snow blower all the way down what are you doing
+Jesse Heilman - Depend on the driveway. If you have rocks on your driveway, you have to raise as high as you can. It's better to leave 1-2 inches off the ground and let the Sun melt it. Hitting those Gravel / Rocks is bad for your Blower :((((
And let the driveway build up a layer of hard pack snow to keep it above the rocks.
why do you have the blower so high up that its not clearing all the snow?

@@JodBronson I have to do the walk through every fall for branch pieces and stones that appear from nowhere. Agreed, it is bad for the auger!
@@daveleary5830 - - TH-cam suppressing me to say lots of things.... Find a creative way to talk to me.... I will get you to even more of a healthier road for FREE !!!
@@JodBronson Who are you?
@@daveleary5830 - You have no idea. Find me and you will find out !!!
I have that too blower
nice machine........how cold was it?.
Is the blower better than the plow?
+Blake Thompson - For my case yup! Blower can go with some " freezing / ice " snow. But for the Plow, you have to plow bigger space than you will need. If it snow again and the older snow is iced / frozen.... There is no way you can use the plow :(((. Although the plow is quicker... But it sucks when it freezes or iced up :(((.
+Blake Thompson - By the way, if you have Rocks / Gravel on your driveway..., Snow Blower is the only choice. The Plow will mess up your driveway if it's uneven or Rocks / Gravel will be in a pile, LOL. With the Blower, you raise about 1-2 inches off of the ground. Let the Sun melt the rest or Rocks / Gravel will be shooting all over the place and damaging your Blower too.
Just carry the plow 1 - 2 inches above the ground and it will work fine!
Used the snow blower for small jobs and used the snow plow for big jobs that's what I do.
@@evanstauffer4470 - LOL... That doesn't work when there is a snow storm back to back and the ice frozen from the earlier storm.
ouin disons ta pas grand neige j'aurais bien aimé la voire travailler dans un pied minimum de neige
