Shynon 7,450 #1 Posted January 3, 2016 Thought I would show my snowblower wing extensions I made. Helps keep tractor going straight and not getting sucked in. 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shynon 7,450 #7 Posted January 4, 2016 Drift cutters are Ariens, and yes I had these wings on a wheel horse snowblower about 20 years ago and they worked. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cleat 5,706 #9 Posted January 4, 2016 Makes it straight down the side like the 2 stage. I was blowing ice crystal snow around 4" deep capped with a layer of ice a few days ago with it. Problem with that one is the blower wanted to push back into the already blown path. Better in that it did not get you stuck but it took a few tries to get the sides done.

shallowwatersailor 3,213 #11 Posted January 4, 2016 Interesting modification and nice fabrication. I have thought of using a drift cutter like what European snowblowers have. It is a square hoop that projects out that cuts into the drift. I haven't noticed that reaction though with my 523Dxi and the single-stage snowthrower. The additional ront end weight that I have could be factor 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
