Attach Berco Snowblower to John Deere X350 Lawn Tractor

Hi, this video shows the seasonal attachment of the Berco Snowblower to my John Deere X350 Lawn Tractor. It went a bit longer than I hoped, but just use your forward arrow button to "10 second advance" over the bits that don't interest you!
Of other interest might be the "Detach Berco Snowblower" if it is springtime. You can find that here: • Detach Berco snowblowe...
Also, if you need to remove your mower deck, you can see that process here: (soon)
Finally, if putting on chains, I've got that little video here: (soon)
Feel free to leave a comment if you have a question, if I can help you out, I'd be happy to do so.

Great Video Mr. Heffeman, I've got a 05 JD LT150 tractor , the process of Spring removal/Autumn add on, was such a hassle for me as I aged became small nightmare to do. Greatly appreciate some Bercomac owner taking time to show us all how to do this. Thank you sir. I purchased another JD, E130 dedicated to grassmowing, so I dont have that job anymore, happier snowblower now.Thanks again.

Just doing some research. I plan to pick up a used X300 w/44" Bercomac blower this coming weekend. I enjoyed seeing your clear views of what goes on. Thank you.

Thanks Pat. This was helpful.

Very good thanks for sharing, hope you get a chance to do a action video. I've been using a jd blower on my x360 seems to work pretty good......I often wished I'd would have got the berco..

[@patheffernan3418]

My dealer only carries the Berco, our good fortune. I have a long drive that needs to a good snowblower in the absence of contracting the snow removal. I've seen some options online to put an electronic switch to rotate the chute... would be nice.

[@AnonymousGameWarden]

@@patheffernan3418 Berco quoted me at just about $4K for the blower, drive box winch assembly, electronic shoot, 150lbs weight, brackets, and delivery. Do you honestly think it's worth it?

[@marcel106]

Question: My electric snowblower head is jumping out. Do you know why?

[@Two_Buck]

Excellent.

[@patheffernan3418]

Thanks!

Oh, I think I will stick with the snowplow for my X350 & continue to use my father's 1999 walk being snow thrower. That looks like allot of things to attach every season. Do you have the snow cab for your X350?

[@patheffernan3418]

Really it is about a 10 to 15 min process in the spring and then the fall. It was intimidating the first time, but rather simple after that. But whatever works is great… keep that 1999 snow thrower throwing!! 😌. No snow cab here, have never really thought it necessary… though on a windy day I’ve been known to break out the ski goggles!!

[@weathermannax416]

@@patheffernan3418 - When I bought my X350 January 2016 from the dealer, they suggested I get the plow as I have a gravel driveway. I also wanted a package deal with the plow, weights, chains, cab and bagger as I wanted a 4-season machine. Like my father did with his MTD tractor. But he didn't have the bagger, he had the tow behind sweeper instead. The plow does good at scraping the snow & ice off the drive.

[@patheffernan3418]

@@weathermannax416 Sounds awesome!!! We got our drive paved two summers ago which is ideal for the blower. It also allows me to avoid the big pile of snow a plow builds up that lasts half the spring. 👍🏻

Thank you so much.

[@PatJHeffernan]

You’re welcome. I’m glad you found it helpful. 👍🏻

[@Will-mu1rw]

Hi! I enjoyed your video and it was very helpful but at they end you did not show how to connect the snow blower pulley I don’t know ?

[@charlc]

Hey Will, check the Berco manual that came with the blower, it has a diagram that shows it lines up. Cheers

[@djhornbacher8705]

We're you adjusting the lift assist spring when you were using the impact to attach the front shackle?

[@patheffernan3418]

Not sure what you mean by lift assist spring… the only spring I can think of adjusts tension on the belt to the Power Take-off.

[@djhornbacher8705]

Look into a lift assist spring. Makes lifting the snowblower a lot easier

[@nathanjunior2294]

How did it do with no diff lock? Get stuck a lot?

[@patheffernan3418]

Not really. Takes pretty bad conditions to get stuck. I do use chains.
