this machine.
Operating the Bush Hog Pull Type Snowblower
The blower is to be mounted on the back of the tractor facing the tractor. To begin blowing snow, the
tractor will pull the blower forward over the snow.
Stay in the seat of the tractor all the time that the blower is running.
Make sure the area is clear of people while blowing snow.
Do not direct discharged snow toward people, cars or buildings as
stones or bits of ice can go a long distance.
• When you get to the place that you want to clear snow, lower the blower to the ground and turn the
chute to discharge the snow in the direction you want the snow to go.
• Engage the PTO and slowly bring the blower up to operating speed. After the blower is running select
a slow forward gear and start driving forward. The chute can be rotated from the tractor seat while
blowing snow.
• If your drive is paved then you may need to shorten the top 3PH link to tilt the blower ahead so it will
scrape the hard surface better.
• If your drive is gravel then you may want to lengthen the top 3PH link to tilt the blower back so it will
not dig into the loose gravel.
• In colder climates where the bare ground is frozen during most of the winter the blower can be adjust-
ed to scrape the snow off the frozen drive after freeze-up.
• In areas where the gravel is not frozen most of the time we have optional skid shoes available to raise
the blower a few inches above the gravel.
This blower is designed to blow snow, but will blow loose gravel if care is not taken.
After the job is finished: Disengage the PTO to stop the blower before driving away or getting off the
tractor.
The auger is protected with a safety shear bolt that will shear off if the auger
becomes jammed.
The fan is also protected with a shear bolt in the PTO shaft universal joint if
the fan becomes jammed.
When replacing the shear bolts STOP the engine and remove the key before attempting to
replace them!
There is a hydraulic hood turner available that couples into the tractor hydraulic remotes if your tractor
is so equipped. This will allow you to rotate the hood without reaching back to the blower especially if
you have a cab on your tractor.
Keep helpers and
by standers a safe
distance
from the machine
while in operation:
potential impact from
flying objects
Shut off engine
and remove
key before
performing
maintenance or
repair work
