JCB 4220 and Schulte SDX117

[@lfeco]

For the money it's hard to beat a Schulte blower. That JCB really makes a great setup for this.

I have been running the same set up for 5 seasons now. It’s okay for straight lines but doing roads with turns it is too cumbersome. Also have to be very careful with the suspension settings making sure you are in the furthest down position whilst blowing. Otherwise you can do damage to the PTO. I really like the float mode but the front 3 point doesn’t quite come up high enough in certain situations. Being able to go 40 mph from one plow location to another is nice. I wouldn’t recommend a fastrac for a snowblower unless you already have it on the farm. JCB parts and service is scarce also

How do you think the Schulte compares to the rotary blowers like the Snocrete? Have you had any issue with shear pins?

[@travisswarmka]

We haven’t had to replace any shear pins at this point and we been blowing mostly hard piles!
