Thank you so much for sharing this video! I had bought a lawn tractor with the blower already on and no manuals. I have a slightly different Berco, but I was able to easily figure it out with your video helping
Much the same steps for my Craftsman (built by Berca too). I've had it for 11 years and it works great. I've had to do some repairs from time to time, but it's blown a lot of snow. Thanks for sharing. Cheers from New Brunswick, Canada
Does the Berco come with everything you need including the winch? Or do you have to purchase that separately? I have a JD X390 and want to get a Berco snowblower
I do know there are a couple different mounts for the snowblower and the winch/mount assembly has a separate manual from snowblower. This implies that the mount is an option/separate from the thrower. (I bought mine from the dealer as a package/installed so I am not certain). It's a great snowblower, you'll be happy with it.
Hi Charl. I don’t do anything special. Oil the contact parts (pivot points and chute rotation), check gearbox oil and verify wear/adjustment on the cutting edge and skid shoes. Finally, look over your winch cable (mine has an electric winch that raises and lowers the blower) and inspect your belts when you remove them. That’s about it. I was thinking about doing a general oil change video for the x350,… happy to do a quick annual maintenance on the blower if you think it would be worthwhile. I was planning on shifting over from winter to summer this weekend.
@@hydrospeedex Dismounted the mower deck and washed up the machine and deck yesterday. I’ll pick up an oil filter this week and do an oil change and mount the blower next weekend. It’ll take a couple hours to edit it down to something succinct. 👍

This was super helpful. Thanks! I have a Cub Cadet XT2 and the steps were almost identical
Thank you, so much appreciated

Would a x 300 john deere pull that snow blower kawasaki 18 horse twin
@@garyposthuma9607 Sorry, I’m not familiar with this and would only be guessing.
Hey Pat, do you have any steps you take for maintenance wise with the blower for the off season? First year out.
