Bever22 · Jan 28, 2009

I finally got a snowblower yesterday for my 1528 and were getting snow today. I got a 60" Agro-trend, it seems to be a nice machine but I will find out more today & tonight. taking the BH off was a bit of a nightmare

but I am sure it get easier in time. Anyone else have an Agro-trend?

Congratulations on your purchase! The 80" blower I got free from my wife's co-worker has been installed and used quite a bit. It doesn't throw snow really far and it does bog down the tractor if it's really full but it does the job for now. I think this summer I may cut it down to a 66" width. I have replaced the flange bearing on the chain drive, repaired the chain and replaced a shear pin in the PTO shaft but other than these things it has been a great addition!
I am sure you will enjoy the blower just be sure to wear many layers of clothes (the so melts through your pants too easily unless you have some extra insulation) and I have a balaclava I wear too!

Congrats on the blower!!! Makes snow removal alot easier. I have the 78" agro trend and it has been a very tough machine. It has gone through snow that was over the top of the blower and never flinched.

Wow! That's a lot of snow! Are you anywhere near to Old Forge?

No, Directly east of Lake Ontario, in Pulaski, Northern Oswego County. We get lots of lake effect. That picture was of a storm that dropped around 5+ feet of snow in a couple days.

Nice machine, I really like mine so far. We didnt get much snow only 4" but I was playing in it in order to try it out. I hope we get a big storm soon
