How well do they work? Deep snows like yesterday makes me wish for a thrower as some of these places I do have little room to pile snow up. ------------- Charlie '48 B, '51 CA, '56 WD45 '61 D17, '63 D12, '65 D10 , '68 One-Ninety XTD |

I'm not sure what you mean by a GT snow thrower, but I've got a snow thrower on a 611 LTD that I am pretty sure will also fit on a 811GT that I also have. If that's what you mean, I can post some pictures of it from the last snow we had. The thrower on my 611 LTD works pretty good for a single stage. ------------- Missouri Allis Chalmers Club Member; 1954 WD45 (NF), 611LTD & 811GT Lawn Tractors |

I assume he means anyone with a garden tractor (GT). I have read on the Simplicity forum about the 36" being better than the 42" from a throwing distance standpoint. They also do better with more snow running through them. I hope to have a blower for my B10 next winter. I'll use my B110 with a 46" blade to windrow the stuff then blow it away. AaronSEIA |

I guess I forgot about this being the Garden Tractor section! Mine are really not garden tractors but more like lawn tractors. The 36" does work better if you can push it through some deeper snow. Here are some pics from a couple weeks ago in about 6 - 7" of dry light snow. Now I need a cab for it!   ------------- Missouri Allis Chalmers Club Member; 1954 WD45 (NF), 611LTD & 811GT Lawn Tractors |

Yep, Garden Tractors. Something like a 917 Hydro..... A gear drive I would be worried about slipping the clutch to much. The self propelled throwers it seems like the guys are fighting them (Like a tiller) to get them to go where they want to or not getting enough traction. My luck I would buy something and then we don't get any good snows for years ------------- Charlie '48 B, '51 CA, '56 WD45 '61 D17, '63 D12, '65 D10 , '68 One-Ninety XTD |

I have a 917 H and a snow thrower for it, plus tire chains. It works very well with the hydro. I believe it's a 42". I wear a full face grinding shield when using it. Don't use it much any more as we spend most of our winters in Florida. Dusty

| I have one on my 810gt, only problem I have found is the thrower does not like wet heavy snow will plug up the shut if feed too fast. the deeper the snow the further it thrus snow. |
