Thank you Tamz

Is your second stage/impeller plastic or steel?

[@gtalaskanadventures]

Factory original plastic.

[@jeffreyammermann3247]

I just purchased a used 2022 1025r with heated cab, loader, and 47" snow. I am hoping the 47" will be good enough.

[@gtalaskanadventures]

I’m sure you be pleased with it. I doubt 7” will make that much of a difference. And congrats on your purchase.

Nice Rooster tails.

Like that do ya James? It was pretty chilly out that day! I think you were the first besides me watching.🤣Thanks James.

@@gtalaskanadventures Yes I do like seein your tractor work in that cold dry snow. Looks great.

[@BillS-p8s]

Did you have the gear box on your snowblower or chain and sprockets?

What hp size tractor and what make model and breed of tractor you use?

[@gtalaskanadventures]

Hey Dustin! Thanks for your comment and thank you for watching! It is a John Deere 1025R. The 25 in 1025 stands for the HP.

[@BillS-p8s]

I have a 2025r with brand new 54” blower heavy snow it only blows 10-15’ kinda disappointing i hope dryer snow it blows much further

[@gtalaskanadventures]

Oh it definitely does. Not much in the way of warm wet snow conditions here. If you happen to watch some of my other videos you’ll be able to see it cranks it out there pretty good. On the flip side of that. If you happen to watch ones I made showing where my shop roof slid off. You’ll also see that it’s very wet and heavy. So in those it doesn’t throw it as far. A lot of guys on the forms and tractor groups on FB comment if you change out the 3 blade plastic impeller for a steel 4 blade it performs much better. Haven’t convinced myself I need one yet as they are around $400-$500 not counting what shipping to Alaska would cost. Best of luck with your unit. Best investment I ever made for me. Thanks for watching and commenting

[@BillS-p8s]

@@gtalaskanadventures do you have a fan kit on it?

[@gtalaskanadventures]

@BillS-p8s Fan kit?

[@BillS-p8s]

@@gtalaskanadventures yeah a fan kit is rubber pieces you bolt to the impeller/fan its the second stage its used to close the gap on the impeller blades ,john deere calls it a fan everyone else calls it the impeller.

[@gtalaskanadventures]

@BillS-p8s Ahh! Nope just stock

[@ronhayes283]

Sounds like something is loose and rubbing on your snowblower !

[@gtalaskanadventures]

Hey Ron it’s the Plastic Impeller they all that I’ve seen on this particular blower make that noise until they start pushing snow out the chute. I understand that you can purchase a steel replacement impeller. Maybe look into that someday. Add snow noise goes away🤣🤣Thanks for watching Ron.

[@miked19831988]

@@gtalaskanadventures steel impeller is $500.... I stayed with plastic. Are you sure your drive chain is tight?

[@gtalaskanadventures]

Ouch &500? No chain Mike my blower has the gear drive set up! Thanks

[@robertknowlan3970]

Dealer installed metal impeller in mine ,no charge, didn't change the sound. Have spoke with others, believe it's a bracket rattle around the pins. Sloppy fit.

[@gtalaskanadventures]

@@robertknowlan3970 Interesting and disappointing news that it didn’t help!
