Snow Attachments New Woods Snowblower

[Hill-Billy]

After using the FEL to remove snow for 6 years, I bought a Woods SB54 snowblower. I use the FEL all year so I didn't want a front mount, nor did I want to pay the money for one. The FEL works fine for me, just very time consuming. I had it narrowed down to Blizzard, Farm King, and Woods. I found a dealer that was $700 less than anyone else for the Woods and close enough for me to pick up, so I bought that one. I was going to go with a company down south that sells the Farm King, but I never have good luck with the shipping companies. Stuff always arrives broken or bent, so I'm done with that route. The Woods should suit me fine for my 250 ft paved driveway.

very nice snow blower!!
Woods does make some outstanding equipment (my chipper and RFM are Woods (mower is marketed by Frontier, but of Woods manufacture)).
Bet you can't wait for your first blizzard!

Now all you need is some snow and some Fluid Film? | Corrosion Preventative, Lubricant and Rust Inhibitor spray to coat the interior and exterior of the snow caster to aid in preventing clogging and rust too.



If you add one of Clarences impeller kits you wil be able to throw the heavy wet snow much farther and prevent the build up of ice and slush in the impeller drum as the rubber paddles sweep it clean at every revolution of the impeller.



I keep hoping year after year that the manufacturers will offer a solid drum auger to prevent flooding and Jammimg of the impeller drum byy regulating the volume of snow being drawn into the impeller and then cast out.

Nice looking blower!

I'm curious for the price on the Woods 54" blower? My sil has a similar need. Thanks.

Nice blower, i have an sb74c on order, looking forward to its arrival.

 

[Hill-Billy]

Foggy, it was $2600. two other dealers wanted $3200

 

[foggy1111]

Thanks! That sounds like a good price for a good blower! WTG :thumbsup:

I'm going to ask a stupid question.....

The picture showing the front view, it looks as though the drive chain for the auger is placed such that the auger would not be able to rotate correctly. Was or is the drive chain installed incorrectly?

It caught my attention and please forgive me as a know very little about these snowblowers as I am looking to buy one this year, preferrably a Woods like this.

Good call on the picture. I agree. This is magnified view - hard to see how that augur can turn with chain as is.

Thanks for all the nice comments.

Yeah, it looks great, You answered the question I had about the cost.

I have started looking for a used 60" just missed out on a Woods for $1200.
I thought that was a good price but now that I see what they cost new I realise that it was a great deal, since it looked very clean/ good condition.

The one I saw was black, does woods make different lines??

I just paid 3500 otd for a Woods 72c with hyd chute and electric deflector. Local dealer wanted 4600 plus tax. These things are as bad as aerators, my woods 72 was just over 3k, its rediculous. And yeah that auger chain is majorly out of whack. Woods has a few different color options if you order new.

 

[Hill-Billy]

Really guys? The chain is not out of wack nor does the auger run thru it. What you are seeing is slop in the chain because I had not yet adjusted the idler sprocket.

 

[lungdoc]

Must be some sort of optical illusion then because in the first picture it really looks like the chain is running through the "triangle" of the auger support. Glad it's ok.
