Snow Equipment Owning/Operating Pictures of your snow weapons

Amarsh, I take it off all the time, literally takes 3 minutes. My question is for all the snowblower owners out there. I have a possible lucknow 72 inch snowblower I might get a friend to look at..as I won't be home for a while. The owner says its a shear pin. What do most think of shear pins as opposed to the slip clutch. I'd prefer the slip clutch, but Do most think a shear pin is alright. Said the blower wasn't used much at all, its $2100 Canadian. I think their getting close to $4000 if new, around these parts anyway, but then I noticed other prices under $3000 elsewhere in Canada. There is also a 62 inche Kubota snowblower also..not sure if that has a clutch or not. My tractor is 5 feet wide, so 60 inches there abouts...

I wouldn't be afraid of a shear pin - just make sure it is the correct pin in it. I agree a slip clutch is nicer in that if you hit something you don't have to go to the shop and if I was making my living with it I would want a slip clutch but for home use I think a shear pin is fine. The price sounds right if it is good. I am not familiar with the brand though.

Heavy made blower. Their alright. Is it pretty quick to replace the pin? Carry a few extras and just replace where is? I was wondering if I could buy a slip clutch and convert

My brother in-law has a Lucknow. He drove to Canada and picked it up at the factory. Maybe 15 years old now. Well made unit.

Thanks Bullitt. Pretty proud of it.

Here is my weapon. Works great.

your blower set up looks identical to mine. Is that a 66 inch dual stage blower with hydraulic shute? Your under carriage quick connect has 2 pins to drop it down etc. How do you like mounting it yourself or do you need some help doing it.

Here's mine

K man, mine is the 63" 2 stage blower. It is a hydraulic chute left and right) but I did not opt for the hydraulic chute deflection. I have wide open areas on both sides of my driveway and the pole barn, so I dont have to be a sniper with it. Its an area fire weapon.

Yes, I put the subframe on and off my self. If you hook the subframe on the the mount on the front first, the two pins go on easy.

Same here I do not need the chute deflection as I live in the bush with a long driveway and don't have to worry about snipping the neighbours. lol Mine a 66 inch and love it, last week we got about 16 inches of snow and my blower was not on the tractor so had to clear with the FEL and back blade and hated it. The next day my blower was installed and blew out the mess left by my FEL. Can't live without my front mount blower. Like you said the first pin is the hardest but once in the other is easy. Now I am armed and ready for the next snow.
