Jim, you posted a picture of your v-blower a few months back. How well does it work, really? How far will it throw snow? How old are these blowers? Do they need much maintenance, like bearings, and can they still be obtained? How well do they handle heavy wet snow? I'm curious because they show up for sale cheap in my area sometimes. Also, what company built these? Thanks.

Hi Randy,
The brand of that one was Allied. It was a bit on the heavy side, but it was reversible, so I have sold it to a guy who wanted to be able to back into the snow. Since then I bought a slightly smaller home made one but it needs a pto shaft and I don't have it together yet.
The only maintenance is greasing the two pillow block bearings. Bearings are all standard sizes so no worries there.
Some throw snow really far; others not so far, but by design the paddles spin at the speed of the pto. Thus you are tempted to rev up the tractor to throw it farther, which drives you along faster. All very fine in powdery stuff but as you suspected in wet stuff it is harder to deal with. It doesn't throw as far, and occasionally may clog up, but not much.
The bottom line is if you're willing to put up with less than perfect performance you can save a lot of money and not strain your neck so much.
I have no idea how old they are but in my view they're so simple it doesn't matter.
Jim
