Snow blower season

[tbm5690]

Not in a store and unfortunately I don't own it, but I want it lol. I watch this unit do its work multiple times per winter and it's impressive

Good looking tractor. Iseki made I believe. Looks very Kubota-ish with its shape.

My wife and I were driving home a few weeks ago and saw one in somebodies yard.

I've run across 2 others nearby and when I stopped to talk about them, they both started off with 'It's not for sale'. Its about perfect size for a few acres.

Yes, the Husky 369 cc engine is only 11 HP.

369 cc is 24 horsepower
Here’s a link to convert cc to horsepower.

I bought this new a couple years ago and barely used it. It's a fuel injected 369cc's engine and has 17 ft lbs of of torque. Its an Ariens and really will throw snow a long way. Works for me anyway.

That’s a great one. Glad you have it good powerful engine.

That’s what I used originally as well, but their published numbers say 11 HP.

How? you take 369 divided by 15 and you get the horsepower of 24.6. That’s a universal mathematical formula for calculating horsepower no matter who makes the engine. So if you want the cc of 11 horsepower 11x15 = 165 CC

I had that same blower on a Deere G110. It was definitely powerful enough, but maneuvering it in tight spots was a bit of a challenge at times.

Agree, good thing my drive is 3 cars wide and wide open...

Toro single stage here. Used to put it in the hatch of my Prius at the time and do peoples driveways. Kind of a baffled look when you pull up in a Prius and pull a snow blower out and get the job done. Winter tires helped me get there and to the next stop.

Never used it on more than 14-15 inches though. Just don’t get many heavy snows here In Indianapolis

14-15 seems to be about the limit on my 721R, since it is above the impeller intake so you have to go back and forth. It will do it though, just slower (plenty of power). If you are getting a storm with that much it is easier to just go out a few times, since with less snow it goes way faster.

Hey it looks like we have same model. Does yours kinda crap out after 20 minutes and the power pump feels like it’s going to fail? Lol

Just received my EGO Snow Shovel Attachment, driven by attaching the existing Powerhead, which contains the motor and the battery:

For the winters in the PNW, this tool should be just right for removing 4-6" of dry or wet snow, which we typically get 3-4x/season.

No - your formula is way off. For example, a Predator 212cc engine is rated at 6.5 HP. The Ariens AX 254cc is rated at 8 to 8.5 HP depending upon the source you reference. The factor appears to be closer to 32, meaning HP * 32 = Displacement.

The 396cc engine is most likely producing 12 to 12.5 HP.

Hmm well do the math

Those engines might have a governor

Ignore that link and try some real world calculations.
