I cut it to fit tight in place and use plastic zip ties/ cable ties to hold it to one of the support bars. I also tie to the lifting hooks as well.

Hey Jrob 730 , Do you have any experience with WIFO and their Up Shot Inverted blowers?
I am chomping at the bit to put a WBPT-84 to work when it arrives. Only a few vids of them

Yes, I am Hoping so.
For an 84 inch width
They have a pretty large impeller at 27" X 10" plus a tall 20" auger. Hoping it works well.
Unfortunately I have not. The other two inverted blowers I owned before the Normand were V style types. They were a snow way( I think) and a Fransgard. They both worked good but the Normand out performs them in manny ways.
The Fransgard only had a 24” fan and my Normand has a 28” fan. That alone makes a big difference. The Fransgard was 84” wide and the Normand is 92”. I personally thing the auger takes a lot of air out of the freshly fallen snow so the machine can process it quicker.
Sorry I can’t be more help! I will say a quick search on CL or FB marketplace pulls up quite a few. On another note: years ago(5-8) you would never see these for sale in the US. The other day I went on and there were plenty to pick from in new to gently used to used quite a bit. It’s a sign they are catching on for sure here in the USA.
Good luck with your new unit and let us know how it works for you? I absolutely love mine!

That Blower almost makes the truck look small!
The dealer there did not think it would fit either! I have a friend with a John Deere like mine and he got a beat up Pronovost 92” inverted blower. He gave it a total restoration and new paint( John Deere colors) , I measured his to make sure it would fit before going up north 4 hours to get mine.
That’s the only reason I knew it would fit!

I hear ya on the window protection with an inverted blower and a dirt driveway. I’m rather sure the curved glass don’t come cheap from JD Parts.
I bought the slow vehicle frame for the slot and added 1/8” Lexan scribed around the fenders and a aluminum angle stiffener and nothing hits the glass anymore.

I have no cab on my 3039r. Looks like I may need body armor. I do like the Lexan shield though.
