Introduction
Farm King has years of snowblower manufacturing expertise and thousands of acreages, farms
and cities depend on Farm King snowblowers.
PTO-driven Farm King snowblowers attach to a tractor’s 3-point hitch. This snowblower is
supplied with Category 2 pins with conversion bushings to Category 3 available. The 740 and 840
snowblowers have open gearboxes. The Y840G has an oil bath gearbox. Adjustable cup type skid
shoes are standard on all models.
Shear bolt protection is provided at the sprocket to the main auger, and is easily accessed by
removing wing nuts and cover at the back of the housing.
A hitch system, which is quick-hitch compatible is standard on all models. A longer 36" PTO shaft is
optional on the Y740 and Y840 models.
Also available is an optional Hydraulic Spout Control. There is a shear bolt on the auger and on the
PTO shaft to protect the machine from damage if a large object is picked up. Any smaller objects
in the snow will be thrown with it and could cause serious injury. Do not allow anyone to stand
behind the tractor or in the area of the discharged snow.
