McLeod County Minnesota | Around these parts, Loftness gets high marks. Mine is 11 years old and the next repair will be the first.
A twin auger blower is only necessary if you are planning to blow snow that is consistently deeper than 3-4 feet like it would be if you are blowing parking lots. Here on the farm, twin augers aren’t necessary.
Here is a little trick I have learned from many years of blowing snow. As you may already know, you need a tractor with a creeper reverse gear. As none of mine go slow enough, I have a 540 rpm blower running on a 1000 rpm tractor that runs at approximately half PTO speed. That is the only way I can move slowly enough to keep from overloading the blower. I use a 100 hp tractor on a blower that is rated for 60 hp so there is little danger of overloading the tractor engine. | |
