Erskine or Quick Attach?

[HobbleCreek]

I read recently on another thread in this forum that Erskine and Quick Attach are sister companies. I am considering a hydraulic snow blower and have pretty much narrowed it down to these two companies. The Quick Attach has paddles whereas the Erskine has a more traditional auger. The Erskine guy says the auger, and Erskine in general, is more robust. Quick Attach has a video that is pretty impressive:

Have any of you had experience with those paddles on the Quick Attach?

I have a Quick Attach on my Ditch Witch mini track loader. Blew quite a few two inch rocks yesterday, didn't miss a beat ! Have yet to stall or clog it .

Thanks. Does yours have those paddles? It does seem like maybe rocks would be less likely to jam in the paddles as opposed to a traditional auger.

It does, it is plenty rugged even though it's only 48" wide.

My hydraulic blower is quick attach. Its beefy as he**. Going on its 15th winter of use. Auger for mine. The only thing i had to replace is the liner around the fan. I have lots of rocks that creap into the snow. After 12 years i got a hole. I just rolled a new piece of 10g steel and spot welded it in.
