Pronovost blower

[koopster]

Well, it is August but deep down you are all wondering what next winter will throw your way. I was not worrying as I have my brand new Pronovost P-800TRC blower sitting in the barn awaiting what mother nature could thow so it could throw it back at her! Having Pronovosts before, I am a true believer of their quality and workmanship. THis blower is not the lighter Puma series, but semi-industrial and heavily armored. It has the PSIG7486 chute with hydraulic rotation and chute arc control, hardened ajustable shoes, and lateral breaking bars for bankings. . It also has the TRC-rotating drum to allow it hydraulically rotate the drum either way, on the fly, to shoot the snow out at any angle, avoiding the issue of possible chute clogging on slushy or wet snow, or to allow you to increase travel blowing speed. Pronovost Snowblowers: Group II
I ordered this blower last May, it came in November. I was able to use it for the ONE storm that came in, 7" of the heavy wet slush that caused havic with plows and blowers. The 800TRC worked flawlessly on the back of my McCormick.
With all that, you are wondering why I am saying this----after being the 5th generation on the old farm, with the blower needed for the large lots, breaking up the snow drifts through the fields to access wood lots, etc the land was secretly sold for houses, leaving no need for this blower, as well as some other equipment. No place to store anything anymore, either. I am putting a classified in http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/showthread.php?t=253535&p=2951317#post2951317 but wanted to make sure the tractorbynet folks had a chance to know as many of you remove your own snow. this blower is heavy!

over 50 acres of fields, woodlots, barns, it is tough to see it all go under the table without a single word to the famill. It is most tough to see the next generation miss out. Only can go forward!:2cents:

New marriage in family now with cntrolling rights selling off multi state family land without approaching any other family members being informed or even given first refusal. We found out when it in paper. Other than that there is not much to elaborate on . Only mentioned this to let you know reason for parting with new items...not airing laundry!!

For some reason some people would rather sell out of the family.:confused3: I've seen it done for less than family had already offered, and there were no bad feelings, that is before the sale. :confused3::confused3::confused3: Hope your blower sale goes well.

Thanks Ed. You hit the nail on the head.

Take it from a guy whose job it is to sell snow plows, THAT is one fantastic snow blower! If you sell it for the same price you paid and the buyer just saved the freight, he would be getting a deal. I live in Quebec, where winter is tough and long and those blowers are workhorses.

Sorry to hear about the farm but you should get top dollar for that blower.
