We finally got a little bit of snow so I was able to test out the Frontier SB1174P Pull-type or inverted snow blower.
If you haven’t seen my overview video, I go over the features of this machine. Please take a look. • FIRST LOOK - NEW John ...
In this video I show the machine in action and show you the finished product. I give you my assessment and share few things (the good and the bad) that I learned while using this inverted snow blower.
With a pull-type or inverted snow blower you blow snow while driving and facing forward unlike a traditional rear hitch snow blower that requires you to go backwards. I have this 74 inch snowblower attached to my John Deere 4052R tractor.
Special thanks to Ian Mills at Green Tractor Nobleton for his advice and continued support.

It’s good to see that that style of snow blowers are accepted, because here in Norway we have been using it that way since 1967😁 but here we normally combine snowblower on the back and a bucket or a snow blade in the front

I have a snow pusher as well as bucket but the blower does such a good job (and we don't get that much snow anymore) that I don't need anything on the front loader. Plus, it is easier to run the tractor without the added length of the bucket. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.

Spray vegetable oil or PB blaster surface shield applied to the auger and impeller before use may reduce snow build up. Great review!

Thanks for the suggestion. I will give it a try. Thank you for watching.

Yes spray helps

For your enclosed courtyard area, you could put the bucket on your FEL and use it that way. Nothing in the snow removal rule book that says you can't use multiple tools to get the job done. For the extra piles of snow when you lift the blower, just run your auger a little longer and give it time to clear out the snow from the housing. It's the same idea with a 2 stage walk behind snowblower, just on a larger scale.

With a Pusher on the loader, and that blower on the back you can get a whole lot done!

How do you like the pull versus the push? Have you used both types?

@twf-theweekendfarmer8735 Жыл бұрын

The pull-type was my first snowblower. Last winter I used a snow pusher on the 4052R but was not happy with the results. I cut pastures with a flail mower so a pull-type blower made more sense to me than needing to operate a blower "in reverse". I also trusted my dealer who recommended the pull-type.

How many inches could that blower handle

@twf-theweekendfarmer8735 Жыл бұрын

It does very well in fairly deep snow. The max I have done is about 18" but I would suggest that 12" optimal. Clearly a rear-facing snow blower would be better for 18-24"+. If you were expecting a huge snowfall, I would recommend clearing as the snow falls. You need to be able to drive through the snow your are blowing.

Not a fan of those pull blowers only good for certain applications I run a traditional 8 foot blower on a newholland t5110 and I choose it over our pull blower any day of the week

@twf-theweekendfarmer8735 Жыл бұрын

This works well for my application and I prefer not to have to operate the equipment in reverse. Thanks for watching for taking the time to leave a comment. Very much appreciated.

Your cutting edge isn't touching the ground? Looks like its scraping down to pavement

@twf-theweekendfarmer8735 Жыл бұрын

The rear cutting edge is about 1" off the ground. In some of my video footage you can see either the track marks from the tractor tires and/or lines from the poly skid shoes.
