Snow blower for X320

[ajd187]

Does anyone have the snow blower attachment for the X320, and if so, what do you think of it?

I am considering one but I am concerned about the cost and amount of storage space required. I might be willing to live with these things if it were a miracle machine.

It's not a miracle machine but I wouldn't be without it. I bought mine along with the X320 in 2007. I clear 300' of driveway plus a parking area and occasionally a neighbor's driveway of similar size. It works well enough. No mechanical issues with the blower other than one broken shear bolt after a rock jammed the auger. I do the changerover myself and it's not bad- about 2 to 3 hours taking your time. That time includes removing the mower deck, installing the blower, weights, tire chains and the anti-icing cover over the hood. Off season I keep the blower on a four wheel dolly; it's easy to move it where you want it.

No complaints about performance except in heavy wet deep snow and then it struggles some. The packed snow turns to ice quickly and even with chains traction becomes a problem. And discharge chute plugs up. The rest of the time it works like a champ.

Can't speak for others experiance but the grill cover is also a good item to have. Can save you from a frozen carb at the worst time, they are kind ofproud of them it seems though at somewhere around $60

I like my 44 inch blower but I ain't got much use this season yet, maybe about a 1/2 hour.
