Features may include:

• The 54-in. (137-cm) Snow Blower has the capacity to handle big snow-removal jobs:

• It works well in all snow conditions and is suited for snow removal around recreational parks, industrial parks, and other applications where snow must be moved greater distances.

• It is ideal for home and estate owners in heavy snow regions.

• It is more effective than single-stage snow throwers when operating in deep or drifted light-snow conditions and crusted, packed snow.

• Hydraulic chute rotation is a standard feature that plugs directly into the dual selective control valve (SCV) (loader joystick control - compact utility tractors).

• The chute’s deflector cap can be adjusted with a large, easy-to-use knob.

• Front quick-hitch allows for tool-free change between snow blower, rotary broom, and front blade.

• The low-speed auger picks up snow and moves it toward the center of the machine into the high-speed rotor, where it is blown out of the discharge chute.

• Generally, two-stage snow blowers are more effective than single-stage snow throwers when operating in deep or drifted snow conditions.

• The hydraulic cylinder and cable assembly provide a compact and efficient means of rotating the spout from the tractor seat:

• Enhances operator convenience and increases productivity

• Rotates spout up to 200 degrees (100 degrees to each side) to place snow where desired

• Telescoping universal joint drive shaft with a lock-back collar and spline-align feature enables easy attachment to the tractor power take-off (PTO).

• A support rod is provided to position the drive shaft for easy installation of the snow thrower.

• A low maintenance enclosed chain drive.

• The auger is driven by the tractor's 2000-rpm front power take-off (PTO):

• Engaged by the tractor PTO clutch

• Efficient bevel gear drive with a 5.5-to-1 ratio

• Uses precision bearings in the cast-iron gearbox

• Auger speed of 176 rpm

• Shear bolts are provided to protect the snow blower drive system, impeller, and auger:

• Shear bolt at the impeller protects the drive system if an object should get caught in the impeller.

• Shear bolt at each end of the auger protects the drive system from damage if a chunk of ice or other solid object should get caught in the auger.

• Four spare shear bolts are provided in storage holes located on the auger housing.
