Unboxing our Woodmaxx SB72 Tractor Snowblower

We're upgrading from plow to snowblower this year! Today we are unboxing our Woodmaxx SB72 rear mounted snowblower for our Kioti tractor. We purchased a few upgrades, but let's take a look and review it!

[@billmartin4140]

I have experienced the same issues with snow removal as you. I purchased the exact same snowblower with the same options last year for my JD 3320 open station which I use to clear the 1100' driveway at the cabin. I have owned both Allied & Woods rear mounted snowblowers which were great units. I found the Woodmaxx to be everything and more of those two quality units. I am extremely happy with this purchase. IMO with this purchase you now have a great snow removal set-up; A snowblower on the rear for +2" or so snowfalls and drifting. A loader mounted plow to quickly clean and gather the liter snowfalls/drifts to one side to be blown. Another plus is the snowblower makes great ballast. I reduced the time to clear my driveway by 60% with the addition of a snowblower.

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

This is amazing to hear and love that you are happy with your purchase. 60% timesaver-wow!!

[@markbrayton5391]

As an ex northerner, who lived in a lake affect snow area here's a couple of hints for your snowblower. If your area receives wet heavy snow I would suggest waxing the chute and the impeller, that wax will help to keep the chute clear. You will want to keep your skis down so that you can build up a base of packed snow over the stone driveway. Rock throwing is not advised. You may know this already but just in case you didn't I thought that I would throw in my two cents in.

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

Thanks for the tips! I did notice that the inside of the chute was lined with a high grade polymer, I imagine to make it more "slippery."

[@alanswanson1952]

They actually make a couple different kinds of spray for that. Teflon and graphite. I used both they work about the same. But check if yours is plastic coated if is safe to use. Mine is older and just metal

[@alane6555]

Good to see Viggo playing with his Kong. He is a great dog to let you work on him without complaining. A fellow employee lives up on the mountain and uses a rear mount snow blower to clear his road to get out. He had a local Tent and Awning shop make a set of clear vinyl curtains like they use on boats that use Velcro straps to attach it to the canopy frame that is on his ROPS. I believe it buttons to the fenders so that it covers the rear and both sides. It keeps a bunch of the snow off of him and he is very pleased with that. You may not have that problem but this may be a solution that is less than 5K if you want/need less snow down your neck.

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

He's a happy dog! Lots of great suggestions for a DIY cab, we may end up doing that this year. Very clever-thank you!

[@mmanut]

Solid piece of equipment. QUALITY‼️ My only suggestion, you will have alot of snow blowing back at you, you might want some sort of enclosure for yourself. You won't regret it. Maybe install it on the tractor and leave it there for the winter. NEVER REACH IN TO FREE UP FROZEN BLADES‼️‼️. GOOD LUCK GUYS, Vinny 🇺🇸

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

That's the plan! We got a lot of great ideas in the comments already for DIY enclosures. Thanks so much!!

[@ericjohnson6016]

I have the same blower here in Wisconsin we get everything light snow and very wet snow not a problem with that blower ,we have a 300 foot gravel driveway 16 feet wide and 1 mile of trails in the woods we keep clear for the dogs. It went from 6 hours with a bucket to 45 minutes on a 8 inch snowfall. But now I have to blow snow for three neighbors.

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

That is great to hear! Totally amazing. Some storms; especially would require 2 or 3 separate plow sessions, since the drifting overnight would mean doing the job over again, and much more difficult with compacted snow. LOL funny now your job has increased for different reasons.We have a neighbor with a large excavator who clears the neighbors drive.

[@tommythuntdeer]

Excited to see how well that works for you! Pats and hugs to Viggo!!!

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

I know it- can’t wait!! Viggo says “woof”!

[@007briles]

Nice purchase I used to have one on a Mahindra 1538 the downside is there's no stops so when you're doing a rotation afraid to tangle up your hydraulic hoses you may have to modify a stop from left to right .just my two cents worth good luck in nice purchase. nice video! One more thought..I'm 70 and move snow commercially. Updated to a jd 4052r cab unit and frt mount express 72 inch snow pusher(Hannah was grt to work with.also i have frontier rear mount 72 snowblower. I handled the oozing back over my shoulder by installing a rear mount camera. Once again nice video with you and the wife.take and be safe!!!

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

Wow very nice. Thanks for the tips- will probably upgrade the tractor at some point; time will tell!!

[@pippaseaspirit4415]

The snowblower is exactly what you need up there! And they are such fun ...

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

Can’t wait to see it in action!

[@bwillan]

That is a good looking snowblower. It should serve you well. In case you were unaware, pull type (inverted) rear mount snowblowers are available for tractors. It takes a minute to wrap your head around driving through the snow that you are going to snow blow. But they work great.

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

Thanks. We're excited. Didn't know they made those, but cool to know!

[@fredhinck8847]

Pull types work well in heavy forest situations with fallen snow. In heavy drifting snow, they are useless as you can't drive through the drifts.

[@bwillan]

@@fredhinck8847 That is their one down side. However, if you leave the FEL on with a bucket, then drifts can be knocked down to the point where you can drive through and continue with your inverted blower.

[@richardrasmussen804]

Looks like money 💰 well spent! This is going to make winter no big deal! Fun time!👍👍

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

You got that right!

[@johnmcmillan7048]

I live about 1 mile east of you. I’ve used a tractor PTO snowblower on my road (1500-feet) for more than 40 years. Great tool to have. Spring and Fall snows can be problematic due to heavy moist conditions . During 2003 7-foot snow fall took me 2days to get out. Using loader would have taken MUCH longer. Cab would be great plus for you. Was for me. Good luck. BTW vids getting much better. Well Done!

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

Wow is that right? One of the Gulch roads? Great to hear it’s held up for so long. I wondered about the heavier, wetter snow, but then those can be faster melting. Wow what was that 7 foot snowfall like? Saw the pictures and heard a few stories from locals. Did you dig some neighbors out? Thanks for the support- been spending more effort on the video skills & upgrading equipment now that we can afford to.

[@johnmcmillan7048]

First driveway off highway. Brown steel pipe gate. Little more than mile. The way to take care of wet snow is to tackle it early in the morning before it warms up. Also important to not go clear down to gravel. Obviously very abrasive. Oh yes... wet snow will pack into chute. Have some kind of tool on the tractor to help clear the chute. Your snowblower is a good one. I’ve been looking at them for awhile now. I am about ready to replace mine. Good luck!

[@dallasbaiton3234]

If you have a plow still you will find you can use both to your advantage by plowing light snow to one side and then blowing the ridge away. The plow is much faster moving and the blower will get rid of that ridge so you don’t getting drifting. We do use both and it makes for a much faster day . You can mount both on at the same time on one machine. You will in time upgrade to a cab but for now use what you have . Good luck and the blower is a good investment for roadways with limited space for snow .

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

We sold the plow, it wasn't working out for us because we didn't have the hydraulics hooked up and we had too much snow to deal with often. Glad to have the blower; last year we ran out of room to put the snow.

[@davidmcgennity3182]

Your never too early to prepair for snow . That looks like a good quality machine , have fun !

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

You got that right!

[@rickb8808]

You will Love the snow blower. Just remember any rock or debris that goes in comes out like a bullet so aim wisely. We have a front mount but it blows the snow and I get the spray back in my face. Bought a tent style cab enclosure but the windows have to be wiped constantly. "Similar to a cloth top on a Jeep". I think a rear mount is probably the best choice.

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

We hope it will save quite a bit of time; and a good reminder to use judiciously at the bottom of the drive, near the neighbor's house.

[@alanswanson1952]

The best part of a snow blower is that there is no pile to drift from the snow kind of disappears into the existing snow. It takes some practice to find that sweet spot of rmp and tractor speed were the snow just flies.as mentioned with a gravel driveway this the snow away from cars and the house.

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

Can't wait to use it!

[@ws775]

Your ready for it now. Bring on winter.

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

Yes!!! (Maybe wait till December though)

[@gumbystown]

Oh yeah and I also got an electric seat heater that plugs into the power accessory on the tractor it sure is nice on those cold days

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

Amazing!! Will have to look into that accessory

[@adrianbew9641]

Off loading Bryan don't feel bad we have all been there and done that, nobody's perfect. Good to see your subs rising keep up the good work and keep them interesting. Look forward to the workshop commencement.

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

Thanks!! Try try again lol. Hoping the workshop could be around the corner with this nice weather.

[@ironheadbiker]

Greetings from Wisconsin! This is my 1st video of yours because I was researching this blower. I have a Kubota L2501 which I know is a "25hp" but it's also a 100c.i. that i believe was the same engine that powered the L3400. I think my 2501 would easily handle this blower. My other choice is the 60" and that's the width of my tractor with spacers. I've got a 700lb rear 72" blade tht I've dug up mile long driveways with no problem, and a 72" 3ft high front snow pusher. Which after seeing your video of trying to clear that drive with a bucket got me thinking that I've long thought the perfect setup is a snow pusher in front and blower in back. I just feel this blower is far and away the best deal out there. On those cold windy days, I'm not above putting my sled helmet on my grape. Looks funny maybe, but I'm warm, and dry. Beautiful dog, I've got a chocolate lab and huge black lab/ mastiff (he's my avatar pic, with a beer) . They love their Kongs! Made me 😃. God bless and can't wait for the next video. I've got a few of me working with my pusher and back blade. P.S. we got our 1st snow today, nothing much, but it's here.

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

Welcome! IT really is a great deal and from other viewers have commented; they are really pleased with their purchase. Our dog just loves his kong! Thanks so much. Fingers crossed the next snowstorm, we can test it out!

[@talfacprez]

The only problem we had with a rear mounted Snow Blower was it was hard on your neck from having to keep looking behind. One note on what we did. If they predict a heavy snow, we would go out and mount tall orange flags, like tall wire antennas to show where the driveway was, and where it was NOT. One year before we put up the tall orange flags our snow blowing ended up in a small pile of rocks off of the driveway and it caused damage to our snow blower. Some way to mark the driveway is a must.

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

Great tip! Was thinking of using the orange tipped fiberglass poles , or similar to mark the edges

[@arnoldromppai5395]

hitting therocks should not have done any damage at all, if you had proper shear pins in, unless it was a very light made unit, i can see, with this snow blower the auger is made out of light 3/16" steel it looks like and yeas that will bend up even from large iice chunks as they will not brake the shear pins, i dont buy the costly shear pin, i use grade 6 bolts and put a cut in the bolt were it needs to brake on my band saw, about 1/3rrd into the boltnever use grade 5 bolts, they are to soft, and just bend, and hard to get them out..

[@talfacprez]

@@arnoldromppai5395 shear pins shut you down though. You have to go back to your shop and fix the snow blower and you lose time.

[@arnoldromppai5395]

@@talfacprez what?? your never shut down more then 10 min or less.. you keep extras and a hammer, punch and 2 9/16 wrench in the tractor tool box, you get off the tractor replace them and you up and going in know time, why on earth would you go back to your shop.. just just makes no seance. they all have shear pins, same as walk behind units, hay balers, and it is only one that will brake, they are very easy to get to,

[@ladwiss]

Can't wait to see your first use video with this snow blower. This is the exact blower I want to get later on, not this year. I have a 7 foot grader blade rear and fabbed up a home made pusher for my front. Using a 7 foot rear mounted 3 point blade. it floats without using the loader float. That cost me 700 bucks in total material to convert plus 200 bucks for the adapter plate to skid steer quick attach. May your snow removal be so much more enjoyable now. I cut my time down by 70 percent easily ,,,I like watching your videos nice job

[@ladwiss]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpyoioKcqplmrcU This is a look at that front mounted 3 point pusher idea that works great for my snow removal. Shows a little bit of the way it was made

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

This is great- so resourceful! Really hoping this will save a us a bunch of time and not having to “redo” the job 2-3x a day on windy days .

[@ladwiss]

[@Two_Buck]

I look forward to watching you use that bad boy. Great property, beautiful dog. Cheers.

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

Thanks 👍 Can't wait!

[@pwengert1]

I’m sure you’ll appreciate that snowblower this winter! It looks great! The metal frame it was shipped in should make some great materials for future use too! Great video. Thanks...

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

That's the plan! thanks

[@TheUserid82]

You can create a snow shield on the tractor using a pvc frame to hang plastic on with magnets to stick the lower edge to the tractor. Not as good as a cab but better then being out in the blow created by the blower and any wind. No drilling into the roll bar so ubolts to clamp around it are the best way to do it. Can do vertical supports for the frame using magnets glued into pvc end caps to stick to the metal of the tractor for no fastener setups and a peaked top to not let snow build up on top of the structure and rip the plastic.

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

This is probably an idea we could implement, fairly simple-thanks!

[@jackfairweather199]

Not sure if you purchased a set of drift cutters for the blower. They will sure come in handy when it gets deep. Good luck this winter. Looks like that thing will move a lot of snow. Looks like the dog loves his Kong!

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

Not that I know of, wasn't a separate purchase at least. Thanks for the heads up. Yes that boy loves to play ball!

[@riverrat1431]

I'm 66 now and I tell you when you get to 70 you will want a cab and heat . lol

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

I'm sure! Maybe we will upgrade tractors by then.

[@leterfly]

Keep up on the maintenance, oil chain, check oil in gearbox, use silicone and spray the chute and everything down, helps keeps the snow from clogging up, don't forget to grease it

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

Great points. Thanks!

[@ronb2486]

Can't wait to see it in action come snow!

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

Good Job. I have been praying for snow on Colorado mountains.

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

Oh we need it so bad- still a severe drought here.

[@johnlucs1121]

The plow on front and blower on the back is a great combination for smaller accumulations to put the snow in a windrow and then blow it into the woods.

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

We sold the plow but still excited about the blower for big snowfalls.

[@jasonmushersee]

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

[@tractortyme]

Probably a good choice of snowblower since you deal with drifting other than a a front mounted one (pricey). I have an inverted MK Martin 68 inch for my tractor. But I live in the woods of Montana and do not get drifting ever.

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

Exactly. Jealous of no snow drifting for you! Wow

[@bobbennett3153]

Add a swivel seat hydrostat pedals cables to go forward and backwards and hydraulic steering diverter kit for steering now you have a combine

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

This sounds like a very useful idea! Thanks

[@PopleBackyardFarm]

Love the snowblower and you are going to love this I am sure!!!

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

Awesome!! It’s going to make such a difference for us. I think one big storm Bryan was out there for over 3 hours plowing.

[@ruyguy8888]

FYI, don't forget to top up your Tractors hyd oil after cycling the cylinders on your new blower. it's going to pull oil from your tractor to fill all the lines and cylinders so it will draw the fluid level down.

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

Thanks for the info!

[@jimcameron3948]

As someone already mentioned, be certain to have a few shear pins on hand (about a dozen). With a long gravel driveway such as yours and heavy drifted snow you could posssibly go through a couple or more during some storms. I have a 54’ John Deere front mount with a paved driveway and sometimes I replace one each storm.

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

Thanks for the info! Will get several to have on hand.

[@raymondrussell500]

Put it together before you get snow. If you wait you will regret it. Stay safe and stay healthy!

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

Great point!!

[@gumbystown]

My snowblowers rear-mounted also a back window sure does help I do about an eighth of a mile we get 3- 5 feet of snow here in Placerville Idaho

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

Wow you sure need it. Hoping it will cut the job in half

[@richardgreen5602]

FYI...I think you can buy a good large ATV or UTV removable cover with plastic windows and doors for under two hundred dollars and make it work/fit you tractor as a cab cover!!!

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

Cool! Will check into that.

[@canamrider7195]

I watched your test run video earlier. Now I see the incredible amounts of snow you get and why the snowblower was a must have. Snowblowers are pricey, but 4+ hours with a bucket is costly also, but in your health and mental state. Last year I bought a CanAm ATV and a 60" plow, got in all installed, and then we had record LOW snow fall. This year I am ready. If I need a snowblower I am going to shoot myself. :)

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

Fingers crossed for a great winter (however that looks for you!)

[@johnbrowning4237]

Does the unit have a sheer pin? With PTO I would think so. Always have a couple spare ones on hand? Sucks having to drive to town in the middle of your run.

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

Yes there are a few shear pin areas. I think at the last minute of the video, there was a camera scan of the areas. Great tip. thanks!

[@slamsshenanigans2296]

I have the exact same unit, it throws some snow! carefully adjust your guide shoes and your top link, too much angle or dig depth and you will be amazed how fast this thing will throw all your nice new road rock 40 feet to the side!

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

Great to know- thanks so much! Don't wanna destroy all that hard work.

[@lhurst9550]

You don't have enough hydraulic flow to do a front mounted blower. I have a 75hp JD and had to go PTO driven. I use a blade on the front end loader and the rear mounted blower for the thicker drifts, it works.

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

Can't wait to test it out!

[@bobbennett3153]

I have a suggestion for a trial run. A large leaf pile without sticks , let's see those leaves fly. PS I live in Florida haha

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

Do you have the spec on how much you need to cut the PTO shaft, incorrect PTO shaft can cost you big money. Looking forward to see how it works for you, thanks for sharing.

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

[@Al-tl2ov]

@@ColoradoMountainLiving It wasn't a snowblower but if you watch Tractor Time with Tim video posted 8/7/2020 you'll understand the importance of correct PTO shaft length.

[@joannak4640]

How cool is this? I was just in the middle of re watching your shipping container video when you posted this one!! So happy for you guys to get this amazing snow blower! Have you thought of maybe getting that fencing that a lot of highways use to prevent blowing and drifting snow? It's usually bright orange but is more like a criss cross mesh and can easily be put up and taken down for non snowy months. Just an idea 🤷 As always, thank you for sharing 😁 Now back to the shipping container video 😂❤️😂

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

We’re so excited-finally ahead of the snow. We do have some snow fencing like you mention- so we may get creative with that on a few sections.

[@arnoldromppai5395]

I HOPE THAT AUGER HOLDS UP FOR YOU, IT LOOKS REALLY LIGHT DUTY here the grader banks end up with huge ice chunks and i am sure thart auger wouldnt last long, seem really light, and never seen a chain drive, normally the shaft from the impeller comes out to a gear box on the auger, i sure wouldnt want to be using an open station with our 40 to 50 below long winters. but it all plays on your clement, around the world, many places that gets snow, it warms up and melts, or they never see temps below the teens

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

Other folks who have this same model say they are very happy with the ruggedness of the design of the blower.

[@arnoldromppai5395]

@@ColoradoMountainLiving that is posable, like i said, it all depends on your climate, here that style always bends up, from ice chunks, hard snow road banks, the chain drive i have never seen, this is a first.. i would think being in the open, and road salt at your drive way bank at the road, and what gets tracked in, will raise hell on it.. it would be interesting to see. my 22 hp lawn tractor with a front PTO DRIVE 4 foot wide blows, for walking paths have a chain from the PTO shaft up to the shaft that drives the big blower fan and out to the gear box for the auger, in in side an oil bath case, none of it has given problems in 32 years, and it is used hard, were the tractor has it 2nd engine in it.
