The garage we park that in has an 8' tall door. It fits, but it's still pretty close. I don't know if 7.5 will work.

ruclips.net/video/Qik9iH5P12g/видео.html According to this video, 94" to the top of the ROPs on a 2025R.

Back when this video was shot, we were blowing snow on gravel drives and off grassy areas with opportunities to accidentally dig in and pick up stuff we won't want being throw and damaging the blower, so we ran the skids all the way down, and left about 1" of snow behind... Since then, we have had a blacktop paved driveway installed so we usually pull the skids up and let it scrape it near clean.

6 years later. The tractor has never overheated doing this or anything else. Not an issue.

@@mdocod nice! My friends B7500 overheats when ice builds up like that. He has to keep track of water temp. Your could pull in air from near your feet. The BX series does that. The B series pulls air from the front.

The 2100RPM PTO speed is reduced in the blower attachment in a 19/40T chain reduction to about 1000RPM at the impeller, or about 4000ft/m impeller tip speed, which is a bit lower than many walk-behind throwers that have tip speeds in the 4200-4800ft/m range. The 11HP Ariens we used to own was at the upper end of that range and would throw up-to 30-60' depending on the type of snow and feed rate. So yea, if you're looking at this footage thinking it doesn't throw very far, that's true, however, the walk-behind units that can throw snow further also sacrifice the total snow processing capacity per HP in order to achieve that higher throw distance, and are much less consistent in throwing distance as the snow feed rate changes. While the maximum distance this unit can throw is less, it's noticeably more consistent/predictable. It's not dropping from 60' to 10' when shoved into a snow bank and bogged to oblivion. If you set a particular angle that's throwing 30' with this unit, it will pretty much keep throwing 30' regardless of whether it's skimming a little snow off the edge of a run or being jammed into a drift and used like a show plow. Different enginerding approaches.

You're a special person and All measure's should be taking to preserve you.

i know the 46" single stage and the 47" 2 stage but am not familiar with the 48"

My toque,coat and mitts are in the tractor with me. If something goes wrong, would be a long walk in the cold. Half mile drive to clear.

Think that's the size of the blower ken not the depth of snow.

I believe that is the size of the snowblower, not the amount of snow, Ken....

yes. was just experimenting with the lens/cam for video.

depends if bought new or used, I would say $15,000 to $18,000

why is that?

It doesn't throw snow far enough for my needs, I noticed that is common with John Deer.

All depends on how much the snow has melted. You can purchase the berco blower for these machines an I think it's a hands down better blower dollar for dollar

If you can throw snow across a double wide driveway , it should be suitable . Unless you're cleaning a parking lot

How many rpm are you blowing at here? Running full throttle? Also how are the exhaust fumes at start up?

Brian Campbell jd blowers are garbage I have the same one

You need to look on youtube for improving snow blowers, ,It can be done cheaply.

Brian Campbell I have a berco best blower by far

Where do you want to throw it to the North Pole

I have a 2017 x730 as well with the 54" snowblower. I did good snowblowing on asphalt upwards of a foot of snow, and did somewhat okay snowblowing gravel and grass where I park my trailer, but it had a habit of getting itself stuck if I went forward more than 4 feet and didn't leave room on the sides for the rear to slide into. I'm picking up a 2018 1025R (wanted a 2025R with radial turfs but just would look goofy mowing a 1 acre lot) to replace it as it became too frustrating to use. I hope you had better success, it really is a great mower though.

Karel Van Leer that wouldn't be as much fun.

We all have our own ways. I do our driveway one way and my wife does it another way which drives me nuts.

@@JuniorFan08 She is nuts for marrying you.

adam adams we have the shoes adjusted very high out here to avoid gravel, rocks, pinecones, sticks, roots, etc. I think it can be adjusted to get a pretty clean scrape but we hadn't tried.

tgilldesign haven't used it enough to comment on durability. so far so good.

sounds like your neighbor is using something extremely hard for there shier pins. I went from the standard shier pins to a even softer standard bolt. They cost less and are easier to pop in, and I want them to break before I destroy my gear box. It take a second to back up, an fit a new bolt in. Compared to the alternative.

It will be a money pit if you are putting any amount of hours on the blower. Plastic impeller like come on john deere for what they charge it should be way better

@@1teddy1979 lol plastic? naw its all metal far as i know... i have the same setup as in this video... the issue with the distance is due to the weight of the snow... when its dry powder i can toss snow 25-30 feet, though id own need it to go that far so im ok with less distance. in the really heavy stuff... be lucky to get it to throw 5-10 feet, even full throttle, but thats better than nothing. i often pick up my driveway with my machine and it handles it like a champ to be honest. despite breaking shear pins when the shute clogs from the heavy stuff, but then, i run it a bit harder than one probably should. only thing ive technically spent on my machine is fuel and shear pins hahaha. (it was a gift years ago, so i consider myself super lucky)

Yep and use the tree for leverage

+Edward G Snow blower has a RIO by-pass.

Edward G you can just hold up the PTO switch. Or there is a simple plate you can make to disable the sensor.

Hydrostatic drive.

there are videos on how to disable the switch

Reverse ' put it in reverse.

hardheadedgerman the operator was just moving to the float position too slowly. as you no doubt know, the float position requires pressing through the lift-the-front-end position.

npsit1 yes, that would probably help. even better though... drylube spray.

wd40 can be hard on the paint...

I tried silicon spray on shovels before an hated it. was way to slippery, ended up having the snow fall off the shovel before I need it to come off. So ended up handling snow more then need.

Graphite paint. You'd have to let it dry completely (aerosol can paint) and it may only last a few hours but you never know. - I'm going to try it this Winter on my little 40+ year old Jacobson 26" snowblower. I'll just spray everything the snow touches from enter to exit and see what happens. It can't hurt so it's just a matter of how long it can help and sometimes only a few hours is enough.

Car wax is your best bet

Just have to "feather" the controls to get multiple movements at the same time. Do it all the time.

Feather between them. Not the greatest, but absolutely there.

+Justin Patterson 1025R with loader and backhoe are around $22,000.

+arlis conner I just bought one for 19.5k and as of 2016, they have a new 6 year 2000 hour warranty.

$19,999 TBL only or $22,00 with TBL (Tractor, Backhoe, Loader) and 64" Deck. 6 year financing at ZERO interest, 2000 hour 6 year warranty. The deal I have been offered.

Having one delivered this weekend with front loader bucket, and backhoe. 19999 financed, 2250 down (10%) ,intrest free for 60 months. I think $330 a month.

+Peťo Hatina Very few of these cases have probably been reported, so its probably safe to say its just a lemon from a batch and likely not to happen again, if you do have an issue an armytek, they will replace it free of charge

Yes, I talked directly to Armytek and they said that this issue has been solved. On the other hand, my local dealer confirmed this issue, so I'll wait for another batch to come... Thanks anyway for this report :-)

+Peťo Hatina Good plan, best of luck!

Ive had multiple problems with army tek flashlights and their warranty is anything but hassle free. I have a 2 month old army tek prime c2 pro thats acting up. They want me to send them the flashlight so they can trouble shoot it. This is after a dozen emails or so including taking multiple pictures and videos. Its gonna cost another $20 without tracking to send it back to china, $40+ with tracking. Dont waste your time

Good luck.
