2305 w/ 47" front blower performance?

You will also find that the blower will throw snow
further to the right, due to the direction of the
impellar. When you rotate the chute to the left,
the snow has to come up into the chute and change
directions and go against the chute harder. When I throw
to the right, I can go 20-30 with most heavy snow, some light
snow will ,as they say , go with the wind forever it seems!

had 14" last nite, lighter variety, then this morning
got another 14" of the wet stuff, and that 47 on my 445
is an absolute animal. I watch other people try to plow with
pickups, make a mess, and other blowers that just move
the snow to the edge of the driveway where it has to be moved
twice, and then only up on the banks. my snow is piled 20' off
the driveway, and rarely accumulates in depth due to the
compaction as it hits the ground going that far!
and I never have to move it twice.

Thanks Dutch, I never thought about that.

I agree that the 47 is an animal. I keep thinking that I want a blade for my Ford, because it'd be warmer and faster, but every time I move a big snow with the blower I think that there is no way I could do this with a blade. I'd just end up moving it again with the blower once the banks got too close.
