Lac qui Parle County Minnesota
Agree with Tom and Chris, Loftness. We're on our second Loftness. Our first one had only a three way directional spout (right, left, straight). New one has hydraulic spout with hydraulic deflector on the end of the spout. You want one with real heavy duty drive chains as snow can wear them out fast. You wouldn't think so with snow but I remember back in 96-97 when guys using Caterpillar dozers, were wearing out a set tracks from pushing so much snow.
One thing we always do after harvest is "snowblower proof" the yard. Woodblocks, cement blocks, kids toys, etc are nasty going through the blower.
Single auger work much better unless like stated before you are blowing a lot of very deep snow. We've a couple of neighbors who have made snow blowing machines out of old hydro driven combines. Work really slick.
